Plectris flavohirta Blanchard, 1851

Plectris flavohirta Blanchard 1851: 129 (French Guiana)

Distribution. Guyana: Evans and Smith 2009: 273. French Guiana: Blanchard 1851: 129. “Guianas”: Dalla Torre 1913: 335; Blackwelder 1944: 233; Frey 1974a: 248. Other: Frey 1967: 117 (none).

Note. Evans and Smith (2009: 273) mention Plectris flavohirta for Guyana, but not for the type locality French Guiana. We consider their “ Guyana ” a misinterpretation of the location “ Guyane: La Mana,” as mentioned in the original description by Blanchard (1851: 129). (The) Mana is both a river and a municipality in French Guiana, while there is no location with that name in Guyana. We are not aware of any records outside of French Guiana.
