Coelocratus rufipennis (Gory and Percheron, 1833)

Inca rufipennis Gory and Percheron 1833: 109 (Brazil)

Distribution. French Guiana: Seidel et al. 2018: 395. Brazil: Gory and Percheron 1833: 109 (as Inca rufipennis); Burmeister 1842: 768; Schenkling 1922: 21; Blackwelder 1944: 260; Seidel et al. 2018: 395.

Note. According to Seidel et al. (2018: 395), specimens of Coelocratus rufipennis in the Burmeister collection at the MLUH (Martin-Luther-Universität, Zentralmagazin Naturwissenschaftlicher Sammlungen, Zoologische Sammlung, Halle (Saale), Germany) are labeled as being from Cayenne (French Guiana). Gory and Percheron (1833: 109), Burmeister (1842: 768), Schenkling (1922: 21) and Blackwelder (1944: 260) only mention Brazil, with the latter two copying the former two. We agree with Seidel et al. (2018) that the occurrence of this species in French Guiana is doubtful and remains to be confirmed.
