French Guiana: Dechambre 1979c: 164; Lachaume 1992: 14; Ratcliffe 1992: 184; Duranton 2011: 14; Ponchel 2011: 60; Brûlé et al. 2014: 181; Dupuis 2016b: 109; Moore et al. 2018b: 223. Brazil(NA): Blackwelder 1944: 252; Ratcliffe 1992: 184(NA); Andreazze and Fonseca 1998: 61(NA); Moore et al. 2018b: 223. “Amazon Basin”: Arrow 1937b: 14. Other: Burmeister 1847: 40( Mexico); Endrödi 1966a: 272( Ecuador, Peru), 1985a: 73, 126 ( Ecuador, Peru); Dechambre 1979c: 164( Ecuador, Peru), 1991: 124 ( Mexico- designation LECTOTYPE Cyclocephala ocellata); Lachaume 1992: 14( Ecuador, Peru); Ratcliffe 1992: 184( Ecuador, Peru); Moore et al. 2018b: 223( Colombia, Ecuador, Peru). Note.The recording of Mexicoas the type locality of Cyclocephala ocellatain Burmeister (1847: 40)is an error according to Endrödi (1966a: 272), and the true origin of the lectotypedesignated in Dechambre (1991: 124)remains unclear. Despite the erroneous type locality of Mexico, the species is not mentioned in the treatment of the Dynastinaeof Mexico, Guatemalaand Belizeby Ratcliffe et al. (2013). Based on the available literature, the species appears to be restricted to parts of northern South America.
