§ Cyclocephala atricapilla Mannerheim, 1829

Cyclocephala atricapilla Mannerheim 1829: 53 ( Brazil)

Distribution. Brazil: Mannerheim 1829: 53; Arrow 1937b: 8; Blackwelder 1944: 251; Endrödi 1966a: 152, 1985a: 111, 145; Moore et al. 2018b: 147. Venezuela (EO): Ramirez 1992: 16 (as C. atricopilla [sic]) (EO); Moore et al. 2018b: 147 (EO). Other: Endrödi 1966a: 152 (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay), 1985a: 111 (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay), 145; Moore et al. 2018b: 147 (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay).

Note 1. Endrödi (1966a: 152, 1985a: 111, 145) records Cyclocephala atricapilla for Mexico, but according to Ratcliffe and Cave (2013: 596) this species is restricted to South America.

Note 2. Ramírez (1992: 16) records Cyclocephala atricapilla from the state of Bolívar in Venezuela, and this record is copied in Moore et al. (2018b: 147). We are unaware of any other records from Venezuela, the Guianas and northern Brazil, and consider the occurrence of this species in eastern Venezuela in need of confirmation.
