Scaphinotus unicolor (Fabricius, 1787) View in CoL
Carabus unicolor Fabricius, 1787: 198 [primary homonym of Carabus unicolor Herbst, 1784]. Type locality: "America meridionali" (original citation), which is incorrect; Calvert, Mobile County, Alabama herein selected (see Löding 1945: 10). Lectotype [as type], designated by Staig (1931: 16), in HMUG. Note. Fabricius’ name should be permanently invalid because it is a primary homonym. However, to my knowledge Carabus unicolor Herbst has never been interpreted since its original description and the name is a nomen dubium.
Scaphinotus heros T.W. Harris, 1839: 196. Type locality: "Ohio and Indiana" (original citation). Syntype(s) lost (Van Dyke 1938: 128). Synonymy established by Erwin (2007a: 164).
Scaphinotus grandis Gistel, 1857: 52 [nomen dubium]. Type locality not stated. Syntype(s) lost. Synonymy established with doubt by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993: 17).
Scaphonotus hunteri Crotch, 1871: 5. Replacement name for Scaphinotus unicolor (Fabricius, 1787).
Scaphinotus shoemakeri Leng, 1914: 143. Type locality: "Washington, D.C. and its vicinity in Virginia and Maryland" (original citation). Holotype in CAS [# 4374]. Synonymy established by Erwin (2007a: 164).
Scaphinotus elevatus var. floridanus Leng, 1915: 564. Type locality: Florida (inferred from title of the paper). Holotype [by monotypy] in CAS [# 4372]. Synonymy established by Erwin (2007a: 164).
