Discussion. Pace (1989)redescribed and illustrated most of the Nearctic species of Leptusadescribed by the previous authors. Unfortunately, he could not obtain the types of some Nearctic species and did not validly designate the lectotypesfor some other species. Below I establish some new synonyms and designate the lectotypesfor some Nearctic species omitted by Pace.
