Remarks on Phileurus carinatus Prell

We were able to directly study 28 specimens of P. carinatus from several countries in Central and South America. We also provide data for specimens not directly examined, for which the diagnostic characters were checked for us, and for specimens examined only through photographs, including the holotypes of Phileurus carinatus and P. declivis .

This species has previously been recorded in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil and Paraguay ( Kolbe 1910; Prell 1912; Endrödi 1954; Maes 1994; Dupuis and Dechambre 2000; Ratcliffe 2002; INBio 2006; Rittner 2006; Dechambre 2006, 2008; Abadie et al. 2008; Catalogue of Life 2010; Iabin 2010; ZipcodeZoo 2010; Duranton 2011;). New country records presented here are for Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Guyana (see below).
