Feronia obsoleta Say, 1823a: 57. Type locality: "Bayf[ie]ld [Bayfield County], Wis[consin]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 348), in MCZ [# 33011].

Agonum luctuosum Dejean, 1828: 172. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). One syntype in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 21). Synonymy established by Say (1830b: (5) [3]), confirmed by Lindroth (1966: 565).

Platynus vicinus Gemminger and Harold, 1868a: 377. Replacement name for Platynus consimilis LeConte, 1854.

Sericoda insulina Casey, 1920: 97. Type locality: "Victoria, Vancouver Island [British Columbia]" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 126), in USNM [# 47522]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 566).

Distribution.

This Nearctic species ranges from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island (Casey 1920: 97, as Sericoda insulina ), north to southern Northwest Territories, south to central Oregon, central Colorado (Wickham 1902: 239), eastern Texas, and coastal Georgia [see Liebherr 1991b: Fig. 229]. One specimen simply labeled from California is known (Liebherr 1991b: 74). There is also one specimen recorded from near Mexico City (Liebherr 1991b: 72) which in my opinion is probably mislabeled.
