Note. A. Schmidt (1922a: 74) is the first to mention Canthon curvodilatatus for French Guiana and Venezuela. All subsequent records of these locations for this species ( Blackwelder 1944: 199; Martínez 1949a: 183; Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 609) appear to be based on this publication. This species appears to have a more southern distribution, and as we have found no additional records or specimens from the research area, its occurrence there remains to be confirmed.
