Remarks.

Cyclocephala macrophylla was reported from Guadeloupe (La Désirade) ( Endrődi 1966, 1985a). This species has not been reported from the Antilles since these records (e. g., see Ratcliffe and Cave 2015). It is possible that this record was based on misidentified specimens of the similar species C. melanocephala , which occurs on Guadeloupe.
