Pterostichus adoxus (Say, 1823)

Feronia adoxa Say, 1823a: 46. Type locality: "M[oun]t Wachusett [Worcester County], Mass[achusetts]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 340), in MCZ [# 33052].

Pterostichus reiectus LeConte, 1853a: 236. Type locality: "New York" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in MCZ [# 5612]. Synonymy established by LeConte (1873a: 314).

Hypherpes sufflatus Casey, 1920: 187. Type locality: "probably Indiana" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy; designated lectotype by Perrault (1973a: 39)] (♀) in USNM [# 47040]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 467).

Distribution.

This species ranges from Cape Breton Island (Bousquet 1987d: 105) to northern Minnesota (Petrice et al. 2002: 9), south along the Appalachian Mountains at least to eastern Tennessee (Carter and Morgan Counties, CMNH) and northwestern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 66). The records from Georgia (Fattig 1949: 21), northern Alabama ( Löding 1945: 15), and Iowa (Wickham 1911b: 6; King 1914: 321) need confirmation since they could refer to Pterostichus tristis ; that from “Wyoming” (Wickham 1896c: 132) is in error.
