Cetoniinae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) from the Colombian Caribbean: annotated species list and distribution notes

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We present an updated inventory of flower chafers (Cetoniinae, Scarabaeidae) from the Colombian Caribbean, where knowledge of the group remains limited. Our study combines field collections, literature, and reviews of scientific collections, documenting 12 species across the tribes Gymnetini and Cetoniini, representing six genera. We newly report Gymnetis bajula wollastoni Schaum, 1848 from Colombia and first records for the departments of Cesar, La Guajira, Bolívar, and Atlántico. These results provide updated data on the diversity and distribution of this group in tropical dry forests.
