Cyclocephala literata Burmeister, 1847

Cyclocephala literata Burmeister 1847: 60 ( Brazil - LECTOTYPE)

Distribution. French Guiana: Endrödi 1966a: 236, 1985a: 56, 132; Duranton 2011: 13 (?); Moore et al. 2018b: 197. Brazil: Burmeister 1847: 60; Arrow 1937b: 12; Blackwelder 1944: 252; Endrödi 1966a: 236 (designation LECTOTYPE Cyclocephala literata ), 1985a: 56, 132; Moore et al. 2018b: 197. Other: Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned); Dupuis 2016b (not mentioned).

Note. Cyclocephala literata is recorded for French Guiana by Endrödi (1966a: 236, 1985a: 56, 132) and this record is repeated in Moore et al. (2018b: 197). Duranton (2011: 13) notes he saw no definite speci- mens from French Guiana, and the species is not mentioned by Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b). All other detailed records are from southern Brazil. Because of the lack of any recent records we consider its occurrence in the research area uncertain and in need of confirmation.
