Hemiphileurus rugulosus Endrödi, 1978

Hemiphileurus rugulosus Endrödi 1978: 91 ( Venezuela)

Distribution. French Guiana: Dupuis 2016b: 110. Venezuela: Endrödi 1978: 91, 1985a: 715; Ratcliffe 2001: 438. Other: Endrödi 1978: 91 (Colombia), 1985a: 715 (Colombia); Ratcliffe 2001: 438 (Colombia); Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned).

Note. Dupuis (2016b: 110) is the first to list Hemiphileurus rugulosus for French Guiana, but unlike other new country records in this publication, the species is not explicitly mentioned in the text. Because the species is otherwise only known from Venezuela (near Caracas) and Colombia, we suspect its inclusion in the species list for French Guiana may be erroneous. We therefore consider its occurrence in French Guiana doubtful and in need of confirmation.
