Suriname : De Geer 1774: 318 ; A. Schmidt 1910b: 76 , 1922b: 457 ; Blackwelder 1944: 215 . Other: Stebnicka 2007b (not mentioned). Note. Harold (1880: 42) states that this is a true Ataenius . However, since its description by De Geer (1774: 318) , nobody has reported seeing Scarabaeus nanus . The only reports we have found in the literature are repetitions of the original description. The whereabouts of the type material are unknown and we consider this a species inquirendum.
