Description
Taxonomy
Some works incorrectly consider Olivier (1789) as the author of this species or even interpreted M. mutabilis (Olivier) as a homonym of M. mutabilis (Fabriciues). However, no syntypes of Olivier's M. mutabilis have been located and it is very likely that Melolontha mutabilis (Olivier, 1789) is a nomen nudum.[2]
