Other: Arrow 1902: 140 (Panama), 1937b: 10 (Panama, Peru); Blackwelder 1944: 251 (Panama, Peru); Endrödi 1966a: 184 (Mexico, Panama), 1985a: 47, 120 (Mexico, Panama); Ratcliffe 2003: 116 (Mexico, Panama); Ponchel 2011 (not mentioned); Dupuis 2016b (not mentioned); Moore et al. 2018b: 169 (Colombia, Panama, Peru).

Note. Cyclocephala discicollis is mentioned for French Guiana in Endrödi (1966a: 184, 1985a: 47, 120) and Moore et al. (2018b: 169), but its occurrence there is questioned by Ratcliffe (2003: 116) and Duranton (2011: 12). The species is not mentioned at all in the checklists of Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b). As there are no recent records from the research area, we assume that the record from French Guiana in Endrödi (1966, 1985a) and Moore et al. (2018b) is based on a mislabeled or misidentified specimen. We regard this species as not occurring in the research area.
