Lebia marginicollis Dejean, 1825

Lebia marginicollis Dejean, 1825: 271. Type locality: «Géorgie» (original citation), herein restricted to Tifton, Tift County (see Madge 1967: 181). One syntype in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 22).

Lebia cyanea Dejean, 1831: 386. Type locality: «île de Cuba; Cayenne [French Guiana]" (original citation), restricted to «Cuba» by Madge (1967: 180). Syntype(s) apparently lost (Lindroth 1969a: 1030). Synonymy established by Madge (1967: 180). Note. Lindroth (1969a: 1030) stated that the sole specimen in Chaudoir’s collection under this name cannot be a syntype since its structural features do not match those reported in the original description. He agreed with Madge (1967: 180) that the syntypes were probably conspecific with members of Lebia marginicollis Dejean.

Lebia affinis Dejean, 1831: 387. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 22). Synonymy established by LeConte (1869b: 248), confirmed by Lindroth (1955b: 22).

Lamprias limbicollis Motschulsky, 1859a: 145. Type locality: «Canada» (original citation), which is likely incorrect. Lectotype (probably ♀), designated by Bousquet (1997b: 334), in ZMMU. Synonymy established, under the name Lebia affinis Dejean, by LeConte (1863b: 5), confirmed by Bousquet (1997b: 334).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from New Jersey (Smith 1890: 87; Smith 1910: 210) to Arizona, north to northwestern Ohio (Hancock County, Foster F. Purrington pers. comm. 2009), southern Michigan, and northern Illinois, south to Brazil (Chaudoir 1871a: 185) and southern Florida [see Madge 1967: Fig. 125]; also found "on all the Greater Antilles" (Darlington 1953: 11, as Lebia cyanea ) and Dominica (Peck 2006: 176). The record from Montana (Hatch 1933a: 9) is probably in error.
