Note. Arrow (1937b: 9), Blackwelder (1944: 251) and Endrödi (1966a: 170, 1985a: 69, 132) record Cyclocephala collaris for various countries in Central America. However, according to Ratcliffe et al. (2013: 597) those records are copies of misidentifications by H. W. Bates (1888: 299), as this species does not occur in Central America. Despite the record from Martinique in Endrödi (1966a: 170), which was later copied in Moore et al. (2018b: 161), the species is not mentioned in Ratcliffe and Cave’s (2015) treatment of the Dynastinae of the West Indies.
