Nebria obliqua obliqua LeConte, 1867

Nebria obliqua LeConte, 1867b: 363. Type locality: «Colorado» (original citation), restricted to "North Fork of South Platte Canyon at Santa Maria, Park County" by Kavanaugh (1979a: 114). Lectotype (♂), designated by Kavanaugh (1979a: 114), in MCZ [# 646].

Nebria obtusa LeConte, 1878a: 478. Type locality: "Green River City (6,000-7,000 feet) [Sweetwater County], Wyo[ming]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in MCZ [# 647]. Synonymy established by Kavanaugh (1979a: 114). Note. I concur with Kavanaugh (1979a: 114) that LeConte’s statement "Last ventral segment rufo-piceous (from the immaturity of the specimen)" in the description is a clear indication that LeConte had but a single specimen.

Nebria incerta Casey, 1913: 53. Type locality: «Colorado» (original citation), restricted to "North Fork of South Platte Canyon at Santa Maria, Park County" by Kavanaugh (1979a: 113). Lectotype, designated by Lindroth (1975: 112), in USNM [# 46859]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1961a: 73).

Nebria testaceipes Casey, 1913: 54. Type locality: "Glenora, British Columbia" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in USNM [# 46861]. Synonymy established, under the name Nebria obtusa LeConte, by Hatch (1953: 59), confirmed by Lindroth (1961a: 73).

Nebria texana Casey, 1913: 54. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation), which according to Kavanaugh (1979a: 116) is highly improbable. Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in USNM [# 46863]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1961a: 73).

Distribution.

This subspecies ranges from the west edge of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in southeastern Alaska to the Great Slake Lake in Northwest Territories, south to northern New Mexico, northern Arizona, central Nevada, and the lower eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in California, east to western South Dakota and western Nebraska [see Kavanaugh 1979b: Fig. 4].
