Note.
Moore et al. (2018b)
list two species of the tribe
Cyclocephalini
for the Guianas that we regard as not occurring in the research area and which have, to our knowledge, also not been reported for any place close to the research area. For each of these species,
Moore et al. (2018b)
only cite
Gruner (1971)
as a source for the Guianas. These species are:
Cyclocephala confusa
Endrödi, 1966a
(p. 174), which is mentioned in
Moore et al. (2018b: 163)
and copied from
Gruner (1971: 845)
, who lists it for
French Guiana
. Given that this species seems otherwise restricted to Central America and northwestern South America, the specimen on which this record is based is likely misidentified in
Gruner (1971)
;
Erioscelis emarginata
(
Mannerheim, 1829
)
(p. 54), which is mentioned in
Moore et al. (2018b: 276)
and copied from
Gruner (1971: 846)
, who lists it for
French Guiana
. This species has otherwise never been recorded from the research area and it seems likely that the specimen recorded by
Gruner (1971)
was misidentified.
We have not included these two species in the species accounts.
