Note 1.
Moore et al. (2018b: 107)
conclude that the
neotype
of
Melolontha rustica
designated in
Endrödi (1966a: 299)
is invalid because it violates several demands of Article 75 of the
ICZN (1964: 81)
.
Note 2.
Olivier (1789: 27)
describes
Cyclocephala rustica
from
Guadeloupe
, and this record is copied in
Blackwelder (1944: 252)
and
Endrödi (1966a: 299
,
1985a: 35
, 116). However,
Ratcliffe and Cave (2015: 291)
, addressing just
Endrödi (1966a)
, claim this record is incorrect, as
C. rustica
is a South American species. Olivier’s
type
specimen may be mislabeled.
Note 3.
In
Endrödi (1966a: 299)
, both
Cyclocephala rustica rustica
and
C. rustica municipalis
are reported from “Guayana: Cayenne,” which is
French Guiana
. In
Endrödi (1985a: 35)
Guyana
, but not
French Guiana
, is mentioned for
C. rustica municipalis
(with
C. rustica rustica
only being mentioned for the Antilles). As all more specific locations were omitted in the 1985 publication, we assume the remaining “Guayana” erroneously became
Guyana
. We are unaware of actual records of this species from
Guyana
.
