Remarks. The paratype of Chrysina maishei Monzón & Hawks, 2017 is labelled as “ Plusiotis corderoi ” as this was originally to be the species’ name. However, Hawks discovered Monzón was simultaneously describing the same species, and agreed to collaborate and to use instead the name chosen by Monzón (D.C. Hawks personal communication, 2022).
