Description
Holotrichia serrata (Fabricius, 1787)
Melolontha serrata Fabricius, 1787: 19.
Holotrichia serrata Dalla Torre 1912: 206.
Neolepidiota obscura Blackburn, 1890: 87; Arrow 1917: 64 (synonymy).
Holotype of Neolepidiota obscura (by monotypy): gender unknown, Australia, possibly South Australia; in NHML.
Blackburn (1890) saw only one specimen of this taxon and Lea (1912) listed the type as in NHML. This is an Indian species; Blackburn’s specimen was damaged, suggesting it was transported to Australia and there is no suggestion that it has established in Australia.
