Note. The mentioning of Cyclocephala maculata for Guyana in Moore et al. (2018b: 205) is based on the record for “Guayana” in Endrödi (1966a: 364) (M. Moore, pers. comm. 2018), which is omitted in Endrödi (1985a: 157). Although this species may well be present in Guyana, we consider its occurrence there in need of confirmation.
