Note. We are unaware of any recent records of Canthon politus for the Guianas. The old records by Blackwelder (1944: 201), Pereira and Martínez (1956b: 137) and Vulcano and Pereira (1964: 672) seem to have been copied from A. Schmidt (1922a: 79), whose specimen may have been mislabeled. We consider the occurrence of this species in the research area doubtful and in need of confirmation.
