Remarks. BLACKWELDER (1944) and KRAJCIK (1999, 2012) erroneously listed 1841 instead of 1842 as the year of description of the genus. RICCHIARDI (2002) transferred the genus from Trichiini to Incini .

Distribution. According to GORY & PERCHERON (1833), Coelocratus rufipennis is from Brazil, but they did not provide a more detailed locality, and BURMEISTER (1842) restricted it to northern Brazil. Actual specimens in the Burmeister collection (MLUH) are labelled as being from Cayenne (French Guiana) (Fig. 6).
