Note. Höhne (1923b: 346), Arrow (1937b: 5), Blackwelder (1944: 250) and Endrödi (1966a: 363, 1985a: 156) record Cyclocephala signatoides (named Mimeoma signatoides in the latter four publications) for South America as well as Cuba and Mexico. According to Ratcliffe et al. (2013: 598), the records of C. signatoides (mentioned as M. signatoides) from Mexico are incorrect, as this is a strictly South American species. Ratcliffe and Cave (2015: 291) state the same regarding the records from Cuba.
