Carabus goryi Dejean, 1831

Carabus limbatus Say, 1823a: 77 [primary homonym of Carabus limbatus Fabricius, 1777]. Type locality: "Charles Co[unty], Maryland" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 331), in MCZ [# 33091]. Note. «Maryland» was the area originally cited by Say (1823a: 77).

Carabus goryi Dejean, 1831: 544. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 12; Toulgoët 1975: 17). Synonymy established by LeConte (1847: 444), confirmed by Lindroth (1955b: 12). Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Hippolyte Louis Gory [1800-1852], captain of cavalry and coleopterist in France. Gory was a founding member of the Société Entomologique de France. His collection, which contained over 18,000 species, was scattered after his death.

Carabus limbatus clarkei Blumenthal, 1958: 64. Type locality: «Klingman’s Dome [= Clingmans Dome] (etwa 1900 m), Alleghenies, an der Grenze von North Carolina" (original citation). Syntype(s) [2 specimens (left elytra only) stated] location unknown. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1961a: 35). Etymology. The subspecific name was proposed for the American lepidopterist John Frederick Gates Clarke [1905-1990] who worked at the USNM.

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from southern Maine (Dearborn and Donahue 1993: 2) to southeastern Minnesota (Donald P. Schwert pers. comm. 1989), including southernmost Ontario (Lindroth 1961a: 35), south to northeastern Mississippi (Snodgrass and Cross 1983: 14), northern Alabama ( Löding 1945: 11), and northern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 10; CMNH). The record from Idaho (LeConte 1878a: 471; Hatch 1953: 51) is in error (Lindroth 1961a: 35); that from southeastern Louisiana (Summers 1874a: 79) needs confirmation.
