Nebria metallica Fischer von Waldheim, 1820: plate 6. Type locality: "insula Unalaschka [Alaska]" (Fischer von Waldheim 1822: 72). Lectotype (♂), designated by Kavanaugh (1979a: 112), in ZMMU.

Nebria pacifica Chaudoir, 1850a: 424. Type locality: "Otahiti [= Tahiti]" (original citation), which is incorrect. Lectotype [as holotype], designated by Perrault (1980: 29), in MHNP. Synonymy established by Bänninger (1932: 178).

Distribution.

This species ranges from the Aleutian Islands south to western Montana (Hatch 1939a: 118) and southern Washington (Kavanaugh 1978: 775-778). A few specimens labeled from Arizona, California, and Oregon are known (Kavanaugh 1978: 778) but considered doubtful. The record from Colorado (Elias 1987: 632) is in error (David H. Kavanaugh pers. comm. 2012).
