Taxonomy
editThe genus was originally named Plaesiorrhina by Hermann Burmeister in 1842, but this same name had been published several months earlier by John O. Westwood.[3] As Burmeister's name was a junior homonym, it cannot be used, and the next available name for the same genus, Chondrorrhina, was published by Gustav Kraatz in 1880.[3] As the type species of Chondrorrhina (Cetonia abbreviata Fabricius, 1792) was different from the type species of Burmeister's genus (Gnathocera depressa Gory & Percheron, 1833; a synonym of Cetonia recurva Fabricius, 1801), the latter taxon was reduced to a subgenus after being renamed as Plaesiorrhinella by Jan Krikken in 1984.[2]
In 1994, Holm suggested a different set of relationships, proposing that Burmeister's genus was a synonym of Kraatz' genus Pedinorrhina rather than Chondrorrhina, and then placed Chondrorrhina as a subgenus of Pedinorrhina.[4] Under Holm's very restricted definition of Chondrorrhina, the only included species are abbreviata, distincta, picturata, specularis, and trivittata.[4] Subsequent authors (e.g.[5][6][7][8][9][10]) have not adopted this alternative classification, retaining Chondrorrhina as a genus distinct from Pedinorrhina.
