Cyclocephala meinanderi Endrödi, 1964

Cyclocephala meinanderi Endrödi 1964: 457 ( Mexico)

Distribution. French Guiana: Dechambre 1979c: 164; Duranton 2011: 13; Ponchel 2011: 60; Dupuis 2016b: 109. Brazil: Endrödi 1964: 457, 1966a: 254; Dechambre 1979c: 164. Other: Endrödi 1964: 457 ( Mexico), 1966a: 254 ( Bolivia, Mexico, Paraguay), 1985a: 88 (treated as an aberration of C. gravis ); Dechambre 1979c: 164 ( Bolivia, Mexico, Paraguay).

Note 1. Endrödi (1964: 457) describes Cyclocephala meinanderi . The species is reduced to an aberration of C. gravis in Endrödi (1967b: 90) , and this is upheld in Endrödi (1985a: 88). Dechambre (1979c: 164) reinstates it as a valid species and explains this decision. Ratcliffe (B. Ratcliffe, pers. comm. 2014) and Moore et al. (2018b: 181) still consider it a form of C. gravis .

Note 2. Despite the fact that the, possibly incorrect, type locality of Cyclocephala meinanderi is Mexico, this species is not mentioned in the treatment of the Dynastinae of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize by Ratcliffe et al. (2013).
