Pterostichus corvinus (Dejean, 1828)

Feronia corvina Dejean, 1828 [29 November]: 281. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation), restricted to "Rumney [Grafton County], N[ew] H[ampshire]" by Lindroth (1966: 499). One syntype [2 originally cited] in MHNP (Lindroth 1966: 499).

Omaseus subpunctatus T.W. Harris, 1828c [7 November]: 123. Type locality: «V[ermon]t» (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Bousquet (1999: 115), in MCZ [# 34570]. Synonymy established with doubt by Harris (1833: 567), confirmed by Bousquet (1999: 115). Note. This name has always been listed as a junior synonym of Dejean’s name and for that reason the name is retained here as invalid. The publication date of Dejean’s work is from an external source (see Bousquet 2004a: 46) and the actual publication date is probably at least two to three weeks earlier.

Omascus tenebrosus Chaudoir, 1837b: 30. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Syntype(s) probably in MHNP. Synonymy established by LeConte (1863b: 9).

Omaseus aequalis Casey, 1924: 72. Type locality: "New Jersey" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 125), in USNM [# 47065]. Synonymy established by Nicolay and Weiss (1934: 210), confirmed by Lindroth (1954b: 132).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from Nova Scotia (Majka et al. 2007: 9) to south-central British Columbia, as far north as northeastern British Columbia (Lindroth 1966: 499-500) and southern Northwest Territories (CNC), south to eastern Washington (Hatch 1953: 117), northern Colorado (Haubold 1951: 704; Armin 1963: 224), southern Iowa (Union County, Foster F. Purrington pers. comm. 2011), and northeastern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 66). The record from southwestern California (Moore 1937: 9) is probably in error.
