Genus
Niphetophora
Kraatz, 1833
The genus has persistently been placed in the
Diplognathini
. However,
Holm & Marais (1988)
excluded it from this tribe, saying that it is a typical
Cetoniini
.
Antoine & Holm (1993)
revised the genus, recognising five species. Five other species were recently added (see
Di Gennaro 2014a
and
Beinhundner 2017a
). There is one species recorded from
Angola
(
Antoine & Holm 1993
).
