Note.
Despite many collecting efforts in
Suriname
and
French Guiana
in recent years, we have found no specimens or recent records of
Canthon coloratus
for the research area. All records for
French Guiana
in the literature (
Balthasar 1941c: 344
;
Blackwelder 1944: 198
;
Pereira and Martínez 1956b: 159
;
Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 669
) can be traced back to the original description by A.
Schmidt (1922a: 86)
, which may have been based on a mislabeled specimen. We consider the occurrence of this species in the research area doubtful and in need of confirmation.
