Note.
Dechambre (1997a)
splits the species
Cyclocephala carbonaria
into a number of species, with
C. carbonaria
itself being restricted to Central America. According to this, South American specimens previously identified as
C. carbonaria
, such as those mentioned for
Venezuela
in
Joly (1995: 171)
and
Moore et al. (2018b: 156)
(the latter who simply copied from older publications), must thus belong to other species.
Ratcliffe (2003: 99)
suggests that more research needs to be done to establish if the South American specimens actually represent separate species or if they are merely intraspecific variations within
C. carbonaria
. The taxa which are described by
Dechambre (1997a)
and which are known to occur in the research area are
C. boucheri
and
C. ergastuli
. These are considered valid species by us and are included in this checklist.
