Material examined.

French Guiana • 2 95 % ethanol specimens; Saül, Dans le village sur la piste (SAUL 22); 3.62386 ° N, 53.21075 ° W; alt. 173 m; 16 Nov. 2018; OG, SS, ST, BF (PAG & MNHN) leg.; GenBank: PQ 629109; Bold: DREAL 580-23; MNHN -IM-2013-75891; GenBank: PQ 629110; Bold: DREAL 579-23; MNHN -IM-2013-75892 .

Remarks.

These two specimens were collected at night on a track within the village of Saül and nowhere outside the village, which argues for a human introduction rather than a natural occurrence. Identification is based on the COI sequences. The same haplotype recovered from two specimens matches with a Suriname specimen (p - distance 99.83 %, GenBank KM 489511; Gomes, S. R., Barr, N. and Robinson, D., 2015, unpubl.).
