Coelocratus rufipennis ( Gory & Percheron, 1833)

( Figs 5 C‒D )

Inca rufipennis Gory & Percheron, 1833: 109 [original combination]

Ynca rufipennis: LAPORTE (1840) : 159 [combination with misspelled genus name]

Coelocratus rufipennis: BURMEISTER (1842) : 768 [new combination]

Types. Lectotype ♁ in MNHG ( Figs 5C‒D ) (designated by RICCHIARDI 2002: 4), 1 paralectotype ♁ in MACN (invalid lectotype designation by DI IORIO 2013: 82).

Locality records from literature. BRAZIL ( GORY & PERCHERON 1833, BURMEISTER 1842).

Additional material examined. FRENCH GUIANA: CAYENNE: 1 ♁ 1 ♀ ( MLUH): Cayenne.

Remarks. As noted by MACLEAY (1838) the author of the species is GORY & PERCHERON (1833) and not Dupont as stated in GORY & PERCHERON (1833). DI IORIO (2013) overlooked the lectotype designation by RICCHIARDI (2002) and designated a lectotype in the Burmeister collection housed in the MACN. RICCHIARDI (2002) validly designated the lectotype based on one syntype of Inca rufipennis housed in the MNHG collection. The syntype sent by Gory & Percheron to Burmeister in Argentina therefore has to be regarded as a paralectotype.
