Erroneous literature records for Venezuela

Roze 1955: 45 ( Venezuela: Distrito Capital: Caracas).

Actual distribution

Native to the Gulf side of Mexico, but introduced to several locations across the Pacific, including Hawaii, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, New Zealand, and the Solomon Islands ( Darling & Génier 2018). No Copris is known from Venezuela and Roze’s record must have been based on misidentification, likely of Dichotomius material.
