Note. Based on Génier (2009: 65), who considers Eurysternus hirtellus to be restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic forest and the transition forest to the cerrado, we assume that the records from French Guiana (Feer and Pincebourde 2005: 30) and Colombia (Harold 1880: 14; Medina et al. 2001: 135) are based on misidentifications. We regard this species as not occurring in the research area.
