§ Bothynus exaratus ( Burmeister, 1847)

Podalgus exaratus Burmeister 1847: 124 ( Brazil - NEOTYPE)

Distribution. “Guianas”: Arrow 1937b: 40; Blackwelder 1944: 255. Brazil: Burmeister 1847: 124 (as Podalgus exaratus ); Endrödi 1969a: 127 (designation NEOTYPE Podalgus exaratus ), 1985a: 272; López- García et al. 2016: 496. Other: Arrow 1937b: 40 (Argentina); Blackwelder 1944: 255 (Argentina); Endrödi 1969a: 127 (Argentina, Paraguay), 1985a: 272 (Argentina, Paraguay); Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned); Dupuis 2016b (not mentioned); López-García et al. 2016: 496 (Argentina, Paraguay).

Note. Bothynus exaratus is reported for “ Guiana ” by Arrow (1937b: 40) and this is copied by Blackwelder (1944: 255). We are unaware of any reports for French Guiana or Guyana, and we never encountered this species in Suriname. Because its distribution otherwise appears to be restricted to Argentina, southern Brazil and Paraguay, we assume this species does not occur in the research area. The specimen mentioned by Arrow (1937b) and Blackwelder (1944) has likely been mislabeled or misidentified.
