Distribution. Guyana: Ratcliffe 2015a: 105. Suriname: Ratcliffe 2015a: 105; MHCN; RMNH. French Guiana: Burmeister 1842: 259 (as Cotinis nigerrima ); J. Thomson 1878: 13 (as Gymnetis lugubris ); Schenkling 1921: 82, 86, 96 (as Gymnetis lugubris ; as A. nigerrima ; as Cotinis nigerrima ); Blackwelder 1944: 261, 264 (as Hoplopyga lugubris ; as A. nigerrima ; as Cotinis nigerrima ); Ratcliffe 2015a: 105; RMNH. Brazil (NA): Ratcliffe 2015a: 105 (NA).

Note. Based on the distribution as given in Ratcliffe (2015a: 105), the records of Allorrhina nigerrima from Mexico in Schenkling (1921: 82, 86) and Blackwelder (1944: 261) are erroneous and likely based on mislabeled or misidentified specimens.
