Note 1. Blanchard (1851: 202) mentions Strigoderma marginata for Cayenne [= French Guiana], but we are unaware of any other records from the research area. We assume that Blanchard’s record is based on a mislabeled or misidentified specimen and regard this species as not occurring in the research area.

Note 2. See the first note at Callistethus marginatus for a comment on the specific epithet of Strigoderma marginata .
