Note 1. The inclusion of Curaçao in the distribution of Coprophanaeus jasius in Olivier (1789: 109) and subsequently in Gillet (1911b: 83) and Blackwelder (1944: 209) is likely based on a mislabeled or misidentified specimen, as is the mention of Trinidad and Tobago in Blackwelder (1944: 209). According to Edmonds and Zídek (2010: 48), this species is only found in mainland South America.

Note 2. The distributional data regarding Coprophanaeus jasius in Gillet (1911b: 84) , Olsoufieff (1924: 65) and Blackwelder (1944: 209; 1957: 1398) are not reliable, because C. abas was treated as a synonym of C. jasius .

Note 3. Edmonds and Zídek (2010: 50) state that they did not see specimens of Coprophanaeus jasius from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, but do not exclude the possibility that this species occurs in any or all of these countries.
