The species occur in Brazil (States of Amazonas, Amapá and Pará), French Guiana, Guiana, Surinam and Venezuela, growing in savannas, capoeiras, forest gaps with sandy-clay soil, and in shrubby campinas.
The holotype and isotype of Oryctina atrolineata present the typical inflorescence morphology of Passovia myrsinites , as well as stellate fiber bundles and sclereids, as recorded by Kuijt & Lye (2005: fig. 5f). Moreover, one of the paratypes Pipoly & Godfrey 7388, was identified as Oryctina myrsinites by Kuijt (1991).
