Remarks. DEJEAN (1821) and LAPORTE (1840) erroneously attributed the authorship of Inca barbicornis to MacLeay. All authors after Latreille cite the year for Inca barbicornis as 1817, but following BUSQUET (2016), Latreilleʼs description was already published in 1816. LEPELETIER & SERVILLE (1828) synonymized I. barbicornis ( Latreille, 1816) with I. pulverulentus ( Olivier, 1789) , keeping I. barbicornis as valid name. BURMEISTER & SCHAUM (1840) rightfully reversed the usage with I. pulverulentus as valid name.
