Distribution: Honduras (P. latitarsis, only specimen described by Nonfried from the New World).

 

Revision or Synopsis: not available.

 

Composition: around 30 species in the Old World.

 

Remarks: We search for the type of P. latitarsis in institutions accross Europe, but we were unable to locate it. Based on the description by Nonfried it is possible that this specimen should more appropriately be assigned to another Anomalini or Rutelinae genus. Or maybe it truly is a member of Phylopertha and the type specimen will surface in the future. Lacking type specimens for examination we consider this taxon Incertae sedis.
