Distribution. French Guiana: A. Schmidt 1922a: 79; Blackwelder 1944: 201 (as C. podagricum). Brazil: Harold 1868a: 38; Gillet 1911b: 32; A. Schmidt 1922a: 79; Balthasar 1939e: 214; Blackwelder 1944: 201 (as C. podagricum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 626; Vaz-de-Mello 2000: 191 (as C. ( Canthon) podagricum). Other: A.

Note. Canthon podagricus has only been reported for French Guiana in A. Schmidt (1922a: 79) and Blackwelder (1944: 201), with the latter likely based on the former. The absence of any other records for the research area makes us doubt the validity of this record. The presence of this species in the research area needs confirmation.
