Amara glacialis (Mannerheim, 1853)

Bradytus glacialis Mannerheim, 1853: 135. Type locality: "ad fl[umen] Tchuniten peninsulae Kenai [Alaska]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] location unknown (possibly in ZILR). Note. Mannerheim (1853: 135) stated that he had a single specimen of this species from "fl. Tchuniten" but also mentioned that he received from Motschulsky specimens of this species collected "ad litora continentis Americes borealis" which he referred to his "Var. b." Since specimens referred to distinct variants are excluded from the type series (ICZN 1999: Article 72.4.1), the description of this species is based exclusively on a single specimen which is the holotype by monotypy. The sentence "Occurrit etiam in peninsula Kamschatka" added by Mannerheim after the statement that his specimens of "Var. b" were sent to him by Motschulsky clearly refers to the variety. The specimen labeled as "Type 8326" in MCZ is not the holotype.

Amara trybomi J.R. Sahlberg, 1880: 34. Type locality: "Tolstoinos [=Tolstyy Nos, Taymyr Autonomous Okrug, Russia]" (original citation for the lectotype). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1968: 684), in NRSS. Synonymy established by Poppius (1906a: 49), confirmed by Lindroth (1968: 684). Etymology. The specific name was proposed in honor of the Swedish zoologist Filip Trybom [1850-1913], who was interested initially in entomology and participated in a number of expeditions to northern Russia. He eventually became a fishery research commissioner.

Bradytus nainensis Casey, 1918: 238. Type locality: "Nain, Labrador" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 131), in USNM [# 47159]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1954b: 135).

Distribution.
