Note. Boucomont (1928b: 194) describes Ateuchus globulus (as Choeridium globulum) from French Guiana and Peru. The species has otherwise only been mentioned for French Guiana by Balthasar (1941c: 347) and Blackwelder (1944: 204), both of whom copy Boucomont (1928b). We are unaware of any other records from the research area and consider the occurrence of this species there in need of confirmation.
