Cetoniinae : Cetoniini

Anthracophora Burmeister, 1842 . Burmeister (1842: 623) established a new genus

Anthracophora and included Anthracophora rusticola Burmeister, 1842 and Cetonia atromaculata Fabricius, 1792 (currently a junior synonym of Cetonia crucifera Olivier, 1789 ) in it, without designating the type species. Arrow (1910: 109) designated Anthracophora rusticola as the type species of Anthracophora . This was a valid type species designation, therefore all subsequent type species designations listing Cetonia crucifera as the type species of Anthracophora are not valid.

Kraatz (1898: 406) established the genus Poecilophilites for Anthracophora rusticola , which becomes the type species of Poecilophilites by monotypy. Having the same type species, Poecilophilites becomes a junior objective synonym of Anthracophora .
