Rutela versicolor Billberg, 1820: 384 [original combination].

Pelidnota versicolor (Billberg) [new combination by Burmeister 1844: 409].

Distribution.

BRAZIL ( Billberg 1820, Burmeister 1844, Blackwelder 1944).

Remarks.

Billberg (1820) described Rutela versicolor from Brazil. Burmeister (1844) included the species in Pelidnota based on the description, though he mentioned that he had not seen specimens of Rutela versicolor . Ohaus (1918) listed Pelidnota versicolor (Billberg) as incertae sedis and speculated that it was the female of Rhinaspis aenea (Billberg). Subsequent catalogs maintained the species as incertae sedis ( Ohaus 1934b, Machatschke 1972). The validity of this species is unknown to us and we list it here as being incertae sedis.
