Chlaenius lithophilus Say, 1823

Chlaenius lithophilus Say, 1823a: 62. Type locality: "Rivervale [Morris County], N[ew] J[ersey]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 352), in MCZ [# 32976].

Chlaenius viridanus Dejean, 1831: 660. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). One syntype in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 26). Synonymy established by LeConte (1847: 434), confirmed by Lindroth (1955b: 26).

Chlaenius smaragdiger Motschulsky, 1865: 338. Type locality: «Pensylvanie» (original citation). One syntype in ZMMU (Keleinikova 1976: 217). Synonymy established by Chaudoir (1876b: 288).

Brachylobus lithophilus indigaceus Casey, 1914: 41. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation). Two syntypes [2 originally cited] in USNM [# 47723]. New synonymy. Note. Bell (1960: 138) retained Chlaenius indigaceus Casey as a subspecies but I believe, as done implicitly by Lindroth (1969a: 989), that the form, which is based exclusively on color, does not warrant a subspecific status.

Distribution.

This species ranges from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 135) to central British Columbia, north to Fort Smith in southern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1969a: 989), south to northeastern Washington (Hatch 1953: 163), "New Mexico" (Robert L. Davidson pers. comm. 1992), northern Texas (Cooke County, CNC), and northeastern Georgia (Bell 1960: 138). The record from “Oregon” (Wickham 1896c: 135) needs confirmation.
