Gymnetis rudolphi

Description

§ Gymnetis rudolphi (Frölich, 1792)

Cetonia rudolphi Frölich 1792: 115 (Saint Lucia)

Distribution. French Guiana: Delatour et al. 2003: 66 (as G. lanius rudolphi). Other: Frölich 1792: 115 (Saint Lucia - as Cetonia rudolphi); Schenkling 1921: 102 (none - as Hoplopyga reticulata ab. rudolphi); Schürhoff 1937: 67 (Saint Lucia - as Paragymnetis lanius rudolphi); Blackwelder 1944: 263 (Saint Lucia - as Paragymnetis lanius rudolphi); Chalumeau 1980: 93 (Saint Lucia - as Gymnetosoma rudolphi); Ratcliffe 2018: 190 (Dominica, Grenadines, Saint Lucia).

Note. According to Ratcliffe (2018: 190), Gymnetis rudolphi is only known from Dominica, the Grenadines, and Saint Lucia. If the identification of the specimen from French Guiana mentioned in Delatour et al. (2003: 66) is correct, this specimen was likely accidentally imported. We regard this species as not occurring in the research area.
