Guyana : Erichson 1848: 563 ; A. Schmidt 1922a: 81 ; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum ). Suriname : RMNH - NEW COUNTRY RECORD (Suriname, Marowijne , Moengota-poe–Wia Wia. 13-X-1948 . D. C. Geijskes.). French Guiana : Gillet 1911b: 34 ; Balthasar 1939e: 208 ; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum ); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631 . Brazil : A. Schmidt 1922a: 81 ; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum ); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631 ; Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 191 (as C. ( Glaphyrocanthon ) subcyaneum ). Venezuela : A. Schmidt 1922a: 81 ; Blackwelder 1944: 202 (as C. subcyaneum ); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631 . Other: A. Schmidt 1922a: 81 (Colombia); Blackwelder 1944: 202 (Colombia - as C. subcyaneum ); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 631 (Colombia); Medina et al. 2001: 136 (Colombia?). Note. Gillet (1911b: 34) and Balthasar (1939e: 208) apparently misread the locality data as given by Erichson (1848: 563) and/or Harold (1868a: 117) and recorded Canthon subcyaneus for Cayenne (presentday French Guiana ) instead of British Guiana (present-day Guyana ). As Blackwelder (1944: 202) and Vulcano and Pereira (1964: 631) have mostly copied records from other unoriginal authors, their records from French Guiana may be based on the erroneous records of Gillet (1911b) and Balthasar (1939e) . We have not seen recent records from French Guiana in the available literature. However, our new country record for Suriname , which comes from the east of this country, indicates that the species may be present in French Guiana after all, but this needs to be confirmed.
