Germarostes (Haroldostes) guyanensis (Paulian, 1982)

Haroldostes guyanensis Paulian 1982: 63 (French Guiana)

Distribution. French Guiana: Paulian 1982: 63 (as Haroldostes guyanensis); Howden and Gill 2000: 325; Ocampo and Ballerio 2006: 187; Ballerio 2014: 84. Other: Paulian 1982: 63 (Panama? - as Haroldostes guyanensis); Howden and Gill 2000: 325 (Panama?); Ocampo and Ballerio 2006: 187 (Panama?).

Note. Paulian (1982: 63) describes Germarostes guyanensis from French Guiana based on a single specimen and mentions a specimen from Panama that resembles the species but differs in some characteristics. This may be due to infraspecific variation but could also signify a different undescribed species. Howden and Gill (2000: 325) and Ocampo and Ballerio (2006: 187) copy but do not address this uncertainty. The occurrence of this species outside of French Guiana needs confirmation.
