Sericoda bembidioides Kirby, 1837

Sericoda bembidioides Kirby, 1837: 15. Type locality: northern parts of British America (inferred from title of the paper), restricted to "Edmonton, Al[ber]ta" by Lindroth (1966: 569). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in BMNH (Lindroth 1953b: 169).

Dromius 10 punctatus Reiche, 1842: 310. Type locality: "Santa-Fe de Bogota [Colombia]" (original citation). Syntype(s) in MHNP. Synonymy established by Horn (1886b: xii).

Sericoda cicatricosa Mannerheim, 1853: 144. Type locality: "sur les rives du fl[euve] Kwytch-Pack [= apparently Kwikpak, Yukon River Delta (Lindroth 1966: 569)] sur le continent Américain russe" (see Motschulsky 1864: 233). Three syntypes in ZMMU (Keleinikova 1976: 191). Synonymy established by Mannerheim (1853: 144). Note. Motschulsky (1864: 233) first described this species and the name has been attributed to him since. However, Mannerheim (1853: 144) first published the name as a junior synonym of Anchomenus bembidioides and therefore the name is available from its first publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999: Article 11.6.1). The fact that the name was previously listed, but not described, by Motschulsky (1850a: 11) in a list is irrelevant. Because no specimen(s) was cited with this name by Mannerheim (1853: 144), the type series consists of the specimens cited when the species was described (ICZN 1999: Article 72.4.3).

Sericoda monticola Casey, 1920: 94. Type locality: «Colorado» (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 126), in USNM [# 47518]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 569).

Sericoda colonica Casey, 1920: 94. Type locality: "Colonia Garcia, Sierra Madre M[oun]t[ain]s, Chihuahua, Mexico" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 126), in USNM [# 47519]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 569).

Distribution.

This species is widely distributed in the Western Hemisphere ranging from southeastern Manitoba to central Alaska, south to northern Oregon and through the Rocky Mountains, Transverse Volcanic, Central America, and the Andes to southern Ecuador, east in South America to western Venezuela [see Liebherr 1991b: Fig. 240].
