Gymnetis flava ( Weber, 1801)

Cetonia flava Weber 1801: 67 ( Brazil)

Distribution. Suriname: Schenkling 1921: 93; Blackwelder 1944: 262 (as G. holoserica [sic] flava ). Brazil (NA): Weber 1801: 67 (as Cetonia flava ); Blackwelder 1944: 262 (as G. holoserica [sic] flava ); Ratcliffe 2018: 89 (NA). Other: Schenkling 1921: 93 ( Argentina); Blackwelder 1944: 262 ( Argentina - as G. holoserica [sic] flava ); Ratcliffe 2018: 89 ( Paraguay).

Note. Ratcliffe (2018: 89) mentions a specimen of Gymnetis flava from French Guiana which he considers mislabeled, and the only other record of the Guianas we are aware of is given for Suriname in Schenkling (1921: 93) and copied in Blackwelder (1944: 262). The record from Óbidos in the Brazilian state of Pará given in Ratcliffe (2018) indicates that the species might indeed be present in the Guianas, but this needs confirmation.
