Remarks.

Moore et al. (2015) synonymized the genus Mimeoma within Cyclocephala . This created a case of homonymy between C. nigra Dechambre and C. nigra ( Endrődi) that went undetected at the time. Endrődi’s (1979) name has priority over Dechambre’s (1999) name. To rectify this homonym and to honor its original describer, we propose the nomen novum Cyclocephala rogerpauli as a new replacement name for the species described by Dechambre (1999).
