Genus Coelocratus Burmeister, 1842

Coelocratus Burmeister, 1842: 767 [original description]

Coleocratus: MORÓN & VAZ- DE- MELLO (2007):118 [incorrect subsequent spelling]

Type species. Inca rufipennis Gory & Percheron, 1833 [by monotypy].

Gender. Masculine.

Species included. 1 species.

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 ).
