Brachinus sublaevis Chaudoir, 1868b: 293. Type locality: Amérique septentrionale (inferred from title of the paper), restricted to «Florida» by Erwin (1970a: 149), herein to Brooksville, Hernando County (see Erwin 1970a: 150). Holotype [by monotypy; designated lectotype by Erwin (1970a: 149)] (♀) in MHNP.

Brachynus pulchellus Blatchley, 1910: 161. Type locality: "Posey County [Indiana]" (original citation for the lectotype). Lectotype (♀), designated by Blatchley (1930: 33), in PURC. Synonymy established by Erwin (1970a: 149).

Distribution.

This species is known from southeastern Michigan southeastwards to southern Florida, including the Keys, and southwestwards to east-central and southwestern Texas [see Erwin 1970a: Fig. 393]. The records from southeastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 39) and southwestern Ohio (Wright and Whitehouse 1941: 70, as Brachinus pulchellus ) need confirmation.
