Coluocera ecitonis Wasmann, 1890
Wasmann (1890: 302) described Coluocera ecitonis from specimens collected in a nest of “ Eciton omnivorum Koll. ” in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Belon (1897: 118, 1900: 141) expressed doubts regarding the generic position of this beetle species in Cholovocera [as Colovocera ] because it had several ocelli, a different pronotum and lacked a scutellum, features not shared with typical Cholovocera . However, Belon (1897, 1900) did not transfer Co. ecitonis to any other genus.
Shockley et al. (2009b: 65) transferred Coluocera ecitonis to the genus “ Cholovocerida ” Belon, 1884, a position which we agree with, but it should be referred to as Colovocerida ecitonis ( Wasmann, 1890) .
