This catalogue contains 1602 entries. It was created to list objects that have similar near- and mid-infrared characteristics than R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars which are supergiant and hydrogen-deficient stars known to possess a hot circumstellar shell. It is therefore a catalogue enriched with RCB stars and further spectroscopic follow-ups are needed to reveal the nature of each object. The catalogue was produced from a series of selection criteria on the infrared colour of sources published in the Preliminary WISE data release (2011). These sources spread over 57% of the entire sky. They have also all been detected in each J, H and K bands of the 2MASS catalogue.
