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.
