Note. Duranton (2011: 24) notes he saw no definite specimens of Homophileurus tricuspis from French Guiana, and the species is not mentioned in the checklists for French Guiana by Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b). Prell (1914: 220) was also not sure about his specimen from Guyana. There are no definite records from the research area for this species, and we regard it as not occurring there.
