Note. Duranton (2011: 17) notes he saw no definite specimens of Cyclocephala amblyopsis from French Guiana, and the species is not mentioned in the checklists for French Guiana by Ponchel (2011) and Dupuis (2016b). There are no definite reports of this species for the research area. It seems to be restricted to Central America and western South America.
