Other: Blackwelder 1944: 253 (Argentina); Endrödi 1966a: 318 (treated as an abberation of C. ovulum ), 1985a: 113, 142 (treated as an abberation of C. ovulum ); Moore et al. 2018b: 254 (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay).

Note. Endrödi (1966a: 318, 1985a: 113, 142) considers Cyclocephala testacea as an abberation of C. ovulum . The records of C. testacea for Suriname and Guyana in Moore et al. (2018b: 254) are copied from Endrödi (1966: 318) and therefore cannot be trusted. As we are unaware of any valid reports of this species for Suriname, we consider our own finding of this species in Suriname a new country record. The species remains unrecorded for Guyana.
