Strategus sp.

Strategus antaeus: Waterhouse (1890); Alvarenga (1962).

Remarks. It seems likely that the S. antaeus records in Waterhouse (1890) were a misidentification. The original biological information based on specimens from Fernando de Noronha is transcribed here:“Its larvae were found under rubbish in the Capim-Açu trail {Sapate} with the fragments of the perfect insect, which we did not succeed in taking alive” ( Waterhouse, 1890). Strategus antaeus is an Eastern North American species that does not occur south of the United States ( Ratcliffe, 1976) and it is likely a misidentification or a lapsus. Since Waterhouse (1890) stated that he compared to “North and Central-American species”, it is possible that it was a species with much broader distribution, reaching Northern Brazil, such as S. aloeus (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Ratcliffe, 1976), or S. surinamensis Burmeister 1847 , which is also present in North and Northeastern Brazil and with a more similar size to the true S. antaeus (S. aloeus is usually bigger). Fragments cited by Waterhouse could not be located in the NHMUK collection and no other specimens from Fernando de Noronha were found in that collection.
