Remarks.

Cyclocephala ocellata was originally described from Mexico ( Burmeister 1847). These data were erroneous, and C. ocellata is considered a South American species ( Endrődi 1966). Endrődi (1964) redescribed C. ocellata but did not mention Burmeister’s type material. A lectotype was later designated ( Dechambre 1991b). Albridarollia ocellata was described as a separate species ( Bolívar y Pieltain et al. 1963). Endrődi (1966) treated the genus Albridarollia as a synonym of Cyclocephala but did not clearly establish that C. ocellata and A. ocellata are subjective synonyms.
