Bothynus cylindricus Arrow, 1937 View in CoL ( Fig. 55 View Figs )

Bothynus cylindricus Arrow 1937: 44 View in CoL (original combination).

This species is recorded from southern Brazil and central Argentina ( Córdoba ) ( Endrödi 1969). We have a single male from the MNNC, which is labeled “ CHILE: Región IV (Coquimbo) / Elqui Prov., Pisco Elqui / January 2005; G. Castillo ”. The route through Pisco Elqui is an international road that goes to the border with Argentina, and there it is common to find records of Argentine insects that are not established in Chile. The possibility remains that the specimens arrived in the area of Pisco Elqui as a result of inadvertent international trade .
