Amara interstitialis Dejean, 1828

Amara interstitialis Dejean, 1828: 472. Type locality: "Kamtschatka [Russia]" (original citation). Two syntypes [2 originally cited] in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 16).

Amara borealis Motschulsky, 1844: 184. Type locality: "Petrop[avlosk], Kamtsch[atka Peninsula], Sib[eria] or[iental] [Russia]" (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Hieke (1993: 59), in ZMMU. Synonymy established by Morawitz (1862: 235), confirmed by Hieke (1993: 59). Note. Motschulsky (1844: 184) gave the provenance of the syntypes as "Tourkinsk au-delà du Baïcal... [et] environs de St.- Pétersbourg” suggesting that the lectotype designated by Hieke (1993: 59) may not be a syntype.

Amara punctato-striata Motschulsky, 1860: 96. Type locality: «Daourie» (original citation). Two syntypes in ZMMU (Keleinikova 1976: 212). Synonymy established by Hieke (1995a: 112).

Type locality: "Soroka [= Belomorsk], by vid Hvita hafvet i ryska Karelen [= Republic of Karelia, Russia]" (original citation). Three syntypes in ZMH (Silfverberg 1987: 23). Synonymy established by Hieke (1995a: 113).

Amara interstitialis var. fennica Csiki, 1929: 439. Replacement name for Amara interstitialis var. puncticollis Sahlberg, 1875.

Amara tschitaensis Jedlička, 1957b: 101. Type locality: "Tschita, Transbaikal [Russia]" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in NMP. Synonymy established by Hieke (1973: 107).

Distribution.

This Holarctic species ranges from Finland to the Kamtschatka Peninsula (Hieke 2003a: 556) and from Alaska to northwestern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1968: 716). The records from British Columbia (Jarrett and Scudder 2001: 380) and west-central Montana (Hansen et al. 2009: 353) need confirmation.
