Notes

The female of Coleocentrus croceicornis (Gravenhorst, 1829) is similar to this species, but has yellow flagellum with black base and entirely reddish hind legs. The male of Coleocentrus excitator (Poda, 1761) is similar to the male of Coleocentrus soleatus (Gravenhorst, 1829), but the last one has red with black coloration hind trochanters and trochantelli, entirely yellow face and only tarsomeres 3-5 of hind tarsus entirely white.
