Note 1. The type locality “ India ” for Cetonia capucina in Fabricius (1787a: 28) and the localities U.S.A. and Haiti for Cetonia convexa in Olivier (1789: 72) are presumably based on mislabeled specimens or the misinterpretation of labels.

Note 2. The specimens from French Guiana that are identified as Anticheira convexa by Ohaus (1905b: 294) belong in fact to the recently described species A. girardi, as clarified in Soula (1998: 60, 61). In this checklist, we placed Ohaus’ record under that taxon name.
