Abstract
The southern Neotropical cetoniine genus Neocorvicoana Ratcliffe and Mico n ew genus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Gymnetini) is established f or three species previously placed in Corvicoana Strand, 1934 (nomen nudum) and Gymnetis MacLeay, 1819: N. chalybea (Kirby), N. reticulata (Schurhoff) , and N. tricolor (Schurhoff), new combinations. The type species of the ne w genus is N. reticulata (Kirby). Corvicoana rudolfi (Frolich) is transferr ed to the genus Gymnetis.
