From author:

Dear colleagues,

Please, I need you to please help me locate in collections specimens 
of a rare scarab beetle (similar to Pelidnota and Homonyx) 
endemic to Peru (La Libertad, Lima and Ayacucho). 

Actually reviewing the genus Catoclastus Solier, 1851
(erroneously described from Chile) and I need to obtain 
specimens and biological information of any species of Catoclastus. 
Attached image of this rare species to help me 
locate specimens that you may known, which measure 16-23 mm.

Any information that you can provide will be very welcome!

Best wishes,
José Mondaca E.
