Heliria cristata

Remarks: The taxonomy [...] lags far behind the evidence that many of the "genera" are in fact just distinctive pronotal shapes of closely related species. There are species of Heliria, Telamona and even Glossonotus that are so closely related that they genetically "barcode" as the same species! --K.G.A. Hamilton, pers. comm. to =v=, 12.viii.2013
