Cyclocephala distincta Burmeister, 1847

Cyclocephala distincta Burmeister 1847: 47 ( Brazil - LECTOTYPE)

Distribution. Guyana: Endrödi 1985a: 71, 131; Moore et al. 2018b: 171. French Guiana: Duranton 2011: 12 (?). “Guianas”: Endrödi 1966a: 188. Brazil: Burmeister 1847: 47; Arrow 1937b: 10; Blackwelder 1944: 251; Endrödi 1966a: 188 (designation LECTOTYPE Cyclocephala distincta ), 1985a: 71, 131; Moore et al. 2018b: 171. Other: Endrödi 1966a: 188 ( Colombia), 1985a: 71, 131 ( Colombia); Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned); Dupuis 2016b (not mentioned); Moore et al. 2018b: 171 ( Bolivia, Colombia).

Note. Endrödi (1966a: 188) records Cyclocephala distincta for “Guayana,” which is translated to Guyana in Endrödi (1985a: 71) and then repeated in Moore et al. (2018b: 171). The only other mentioning for the Guianas is by Duranton (2011: 12), who doubts its presence in French Guiana. Because of the lack of any recent records from the research area, we regard its occurrence there as doubtful and in need of confirmation.
