Cyclocephala varians Burmeister, 1847

Cyclocephala varians Burmeister 1847: 64 (“Guianas” - LECTOTYPE)

Distribution. Guyana: Endrödi 1985a: 98, 140. French Guiana: Duranton 2011: 16; Ponchel 2011: 60; Dupuis 2016b: 109; Moore et al. 2018b: 259. “Guianas”: Burmeister 1847: 64; Arrow 1937b: 17; Blackwelder 1944: 253; Endrödi 1966a: 328 (designation LECTOTYPE Cyclocephala varians ). Other: Moore et al. 2018b: 259 ( Colombia).

Note. Endrödi (1966: 328) mentions Cyclocephala varians for “Guianas,” while Endrödi (1985a: 98) mentions Guyana. We suspect the latter location is an unwarranted specification of the former one. Although the original description in Burmeister (1847: 64) says “In Guyana,” the age of this remark means that it may have indicated either of the Guianas. We are unaware of any definite records from Guyana and consider its occurrence there in need of confirmation.
