Notes

The female of Coleocentrus caligatus Gravenhorst, 1829 is similar to this species, but has entirely red hind coxae and more developed carinae of the propodeum. Male of Coleocentrus heteropus Thomson, 1894 is similar to Coleocentrus croceicornis (Gravenhorst, 1829), but the last one has reddish pterostigma and yellow flagellum (with dark base).
