Suriname : Endrödi 1966a: 351 , 1985a: 151 ; Moore et al. 2018b: 124 . French Guiana : Duranton 2011: 17 . Venezuela : Höhne 1922a: 87 ; Arrow 1937b: 7 ; Blackwelder 1944: 250 ; Endrödi 1966a: 351 , 1985a: 151 ; Moore et al. 2018b: 124 . Other: Höhne 1922a: 87 (Colombia); Arrow 1937b: 7 (Colombia); Blackwelder 1944: 250 (Colombia); Endrödi 1966a: 351 (Colombia, Panama, U.S.A.), 1985a: 151 (Colombia, Panama, U.S.A.); Ratcliffe 2003: 51 (Costa Rica, Panama, northern South America); Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned); Dupuis 2016b (not mentioned); Moore et al. 2018b: 124 (Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama). Note 1. Endrödi (1966a: 351) states that the holotype of Aspidolea kuntzeni from Suriname is in the collection of the ZMHB, but this contradicts the original description in Höhne (1922a: 87) , in which this species is only recorded for Venezuela (five specimens) and Colombia (one specimen). A study of the specimens present in the ZMHB might reveal the cause of this error. Endrödi (1985a: 151) and Moore et al. (2018b: 124) repeat the erroneous record from Suriname . Note 2. Duranton (2011: 17) notes he saw no definite specimens of Aspidolea kuntzeni from French Guiana , and the species is not mentioned in the checklists for French Guiana by Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b) . We have not seen actual specimens from Suriname , and because we are unaware of any other records from the research area, we regard it as not occurring there. Note 3. According to Ratcliffe (2003: 51) , the record of Aspidolea kuntzeni from the U.S.A. in Endrödi (1966a: 351 , 1985a: 151 ) is erroneous, as this species does not occur there.
