Dyschirius abbreviatus Putzeys, 1846
Dyschirius abbreviatus
Putzeys, 1846 [January]: 12. Type locality:
"Texas"
(Putzeys 1861: 71), restricted to "Galveston [Galveston County]" by Putzeys (1867b: 51). Holotype [by monotypy] in MHNP (collection Chaudoir). Note. Putzeys (1846: 13) originally gave
"Yucatan"
as type locality but changed it to
"Texas"
later (Putzeys 1861: 71). This species is a senior primary homonym of
Dyschirius abbreviatus
Chaudoir, 1846 [June].
Distribution.
This species inhabits the Coastal Plain ranging from the coast of southern North Carolina (Brunswick County, Ken Karns pers. comm. 2009) to southern Florida (Nichols 1988b: Fig. 5-5; Peck and Thomas 1998: 17), west to southeastern Texas (Putzeys 1867b: 51).
Records.
USA
: AL, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, TX
Note.
According to Whitehead (1970: 185), members of
Dyschirius darlingtoni
Kult, 1950 from Mexico are probably conspecific with those of
Dyschirius abbreviatus
.
