Note.
The
type
locality Cayenne [=
French Guiana
] for
Coprophanaeus bellicosus
in
Olivier (1789: 103)
and the subsequent inclusion of the Guianas in the distribution of this species in
Gillet (1911b: 81)
,
Olsoufieff (1924: 77)
and
Blackwelder (1944: 209)
is likely the result of a mislabeled specimen. Accord- ing to
Edmonds and Zídek (2010: 14)
, this species is restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and does not occur in the research area.
