The specimen with the unique NHMUK number “014589700” is apparently a paratype of Chrysina aenigmatica (Morón, 1990) but has been reidentified by Hawks as Chrysina modesta (Sturm, 1843). Moore et al. (2017) list the paratype as present in NHMUK, but not its reidentification. The type material of Chrysina modesta (Sturm, 1843) was not reported by Moore et al. (2017).
