Note 1.
Gillet (1911b: 32
, 34) and
Blackwelder (1944: 201
, 202) treat
Canthon prasinus
both as a valid species and as a synonym of the present
C. sulcatus
.
Note 2.
According to
Halffter and Martínez (1967: 89)
,
Canthon sulcatus
only occurs in eastern
Brazil
, more precisely in the states of
Espírito Santo
and
Rio de Janeiro
and in the southern part of
Bahia
. We suspect
Laporte (1840: 69)
based the
type
locality Cayenne (present-day
French Guiana
) on a mislabeled specimen, which was then copied in A.
Schmidt (1922a: 81)
and
Blackwelder (1944: 202)
. The record from
Argentina
in
Vulcano and Pereira (1964: 574)
is likely incorrect as well for similar distributional reasons.
