Amara littoralis Dejean, 1828

Amara littoralis Dejean, 1828: 467. Type locality: «détroit de Norfolk [= Norfolk Sound, Baranof Island, Alaska] sur la côte nord-ouest de l’Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] probably in MHNP. Note. Mannerheim (1843: 207) first described this species and the name has been attributed to him since. However Dejean (1828: 467) published the name as a junior synonym of Amara plebeja and the name is available from its publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999: Article 11.6.1). Consequently the lectotype designated by Lindroth (1968: 730) in ZMH is not part of the type series and loses its status (ICZN 1999: Article 72.4.3).

Amara fallax LeConte, 1847: 362. Type locality: "Lacum Superiorem" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in MCZ [# 5678]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 318).

Amara acuminata Casey, 1918: 297 [secondary homonym of Amara acuminata (Paykull, 1798)]. Type locality: "S[an]ta Fé [Santa Fe County], New Mexico" (original citation). Lectotype [as holotypus] (♀), designated by Hieke (1993: 107), in USNM [# 47281]. Synonymy established by Hieke (1993: 107).

Amara mystica Casey, 1918: 298. Type locality: "San Francisco [San Francisco County], California" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47286]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 318).

Amara hesperia Casey, 1918: 298. Type locality: «Cal[ifornia]» (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47285]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara keeni Casey, 1918: 299. Type locality: "Inverness [probably Inverness Passage], British Columbia" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47289]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara lacustrina Casey, 1918: 299. Type locality: "Bayfield [Bayfield County, Wisconsin], Lake Superior" (original citation for the lectotype). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47287]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara laurana Casey, 1918: 300. Type locality: "Boulder [Boulder County], Colorado" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47288]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara teres Notman, 1922a: 146. Type locality: "Westfield, Chautauqua Co[unty], N[ew] Y[ork]" (original citation). Holotype (♀) in SIM (Hennessey 1990: 466). Synonymy established with doubt by Lindroth (1968: 730).

Amara oodiformis Casey, 1924: 58. Type locality: "Ilo [= Craigmont, Lewis County], Idaho" (holotype label). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in USNM [# 47182]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara acuticauda Casey, 1924: 58. Replacement name for Amara acuminata Casey, 1918.

Amara convergens Casey, 1924: 59. Type locality: "Peachland, B[ritish] C[olumbia]" (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 136), in USNM [# 47284]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Amara pullmani Casey, 1924: 61. Type locality: "Pullman [Whitman County], Washington" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 136), in USNM [# 47279]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 319).

Distribution.

This Holarctic species ranges from Newfoundland to the Gulf Coast of Alaska, including Kodiak Island (Lindroth 1968: 731), south to southern California (Dajoz 2007: 20; San Diego County, CNC), northern New Mexico (Casey 1918: 297, as Amara acuminata ; Rio Arriba County, CMNH), western Texas (Dajoz 2007: 23; Brewster County, CMNH), east-central Alabama (Lee County, CNC; LeConte 1855: 352), and eastern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 74). In the Palaearctic Region, the species is known only from northwestern Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula (Hieke 2000: 67).
