Note. Duranton (2011: 25) mentions he saw no definite specimens of Phileurus angustatus from French Guiana, and we are also unaware of any records. However, the species is recorded from Suriname, Guyana and Brazil north of the Amazon. The species might thus occur in French Guiana, but this needs confirmation.
