Type material examined
Neotype male (Fig. 6) deposited at MNHN, labeled: “Guyane franç. / Passoura / E.LeMoult 1905.6 // Muséum Paris / ex Coll. / R. Oberthür / 1952 // NEOTYPE / Cetonia / lateralis Ol. / M. SOULA det // MNHN / EC1215” (http://coldb.mnhn.fr/catalognumber/mnhn/ec/ec1215). Images of the male aedeagus provided by Jhon César Neita Moreno and Julián Clavijo-Bustos (IAVH). Holotype female of Cetonia virens (Fig. 7) deposited at ZMUK, labeled: “Essequibo. / Smidt. / Mus: J: Lund. / Lateralis / Cetonia Oliv. / virens. F.” (white, handwritten) // “TYPE” (red, printed) // “ZMUKFabricius / 002261” (white, printed with QR code) // “zmuc / 00031432” (white, printed).
Non-type material examined
(2 males, 2 females). Brazil, Amazonas, Manaus, Reserva Ducke, 21.II.1978, Jorge Arias (leg.) (♀, INPA); idem, but no date and collector (♂, INPA); idem, but campus UA, 07.III.2005, Herbert & Marcos Pantoja (legs.) (♂, INPA); Brazil, Pará, Santarém, I.1922, J. F. Zikán Coll. (♀, CEIOC).
Distribution
(Fig. 12). Suriname (Hielkema and Hielkema 2019[3]). French Guiana. Guiana. Venezuela (Soula 1998[4], 2002[5], 2005[6]). Brazil. Amazonas, Pará (Ohaus 1898[7]; present paper).
Remarks
Fabricius (1801)[8] described Cetonia virens from “America Meridionali” (= South America). This species was synonymized under M. lateralis by Burmeister (1844)[1], and the synonymy was maintained by Soula (2003)[9] without any additional statements. One of us (MS) located and examined the female holotype of C. virens at ZMUK (Fig. 7A–E). Inspection of the label, which was never been completely transcribed, revealed additional, important information. The word “Essequibo” (Guiana), which was omitted from the original description and all treatments of this species, allowed us to ascertain that the type locality was from Guiana. The female holotype is not associated with male specimens so it cannot be reliably identified. However, because the distribution of C. virens lies within the known range of M. lateralis in the Guiana Shield, we maintain the synonymy.
