Note. To our knowledge, the only record of Onthophagus hircus for the research area is given in Boucomont (1932: 326) as O. hirculus for French Guiana . The lack of recent records makes us doubt its occurrence in the Guianas. We consider the presence of this species in the research area in need of confirmation.
