The Biogeography And Phylogeny Of Hologymnetis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) With A Revision Of The Genus, Brett C. Ratcliffe, A. Cuauhtemoc Deloya
University of Nebraska State Museum: Entomology Papers
The Neotropical genus Hologymnetis (formerly Cineretis) is comprehensively reviewed. Descriptions and a key to the seven species are presented, including three new species (H. kinichahau from Guatemala and Mexico, H. moroni from Mexico, and H. vulcanorum from El Salvador).
