Distribution (see Fig.10). Brazil: Amazonas ( BECKER & GRAZIA-VIEIRA 1971, A RNOLD 2011, SILVA et al. 2018, KMENT et al. 2018); Ecuador ( KMENT et al. 2018); French Guiana ( BERGROTH 1911, BECKER & GRAZIA-VIEIRA 1971, KMENT et al. 2018, this paper); Guyana ( KMENT et al. 2018, females only); Peru ( KMENT et al. 2018, this paper); Suriname ( KMENT et al. 2018, females only; this paper); Venezuela ( BECKER & GRAZIA-VIEIRA 1971, GRAZIA 1984).

I hereby confirm the occurrence of R. grandicallosa grandicallosa in Guyana and Suriname based on male specimens. Concerning the occurrence of the subspecies in Colombia, the record from Chocó ( TORRES GUTIÉRREZ 2004, as Rhyncholepta sp. ; CASTRO-HUERTAS et al. 2015, 2022, both as R. grandicallosa ) most probably belongs to R. g. centroamericana. However, we may expect to find the nominotypical subspecies in the part of Colombia east of the Andes.
