Feronia stygica Say, 1823a: 41. Type locality: "Rumney [Grafton County], N[ew] H[ampshire]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 341), in MCZ [# 33045].

Omaseus bisigillatus T.W. Harris, 1828c: 123. Type locality: «Maine» (lectotype label). Lectotype (♀), designated by Bousquet (1999: 139), in MCZ [# 34569]. Synonymy established by Harris (1833: 567), confirmed by Bousquet (1999: 139).

LeConte (1873a: 306) noted that "the type of Feronia picipes Newm. in the British Museum belongs to this [ Pterostichus stygicus Say] species, but the description does not agree, and seems to refer rather to Pterostichus submarginatus ; there seems to have been some confusion of labels."

Omaseus rugicollis Haldeman, 1843b: 300. Type locality: "western Penn[sylvania]" (original citation). One possible syntype, a ♂ labeled "[yellow disc] / P. stygicus (Say) Lec. rugicollis Hald. [handwritten]," in MCZ (collection LeConte). Synonymy established by LeConte (1853a: 246).

Pterostichus vapidus Casey, 1913: 134. Type locality: "Adirondack M[oun]t[ain]s, New York" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in USNM [# 47058]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 492).

Euferonia quadrifera Casey, 1918: 366. Type locality: «Ontario» (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 124), in USNM [# 47064]. Synonymy established by Nicolay and Weiss (1934: 201), confirmed by Lindroth (1966: 493).

Distribution.

This species ranges from Maine (Dearborn and Donahue 1993: 5) to central Iowa ( O’Rourke et al. 2008: 126), south to “Louisiana” (Nicolay and Weiss 1934: 201) and southwestern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 24), west to northeastern Kansas (Popenoe 1877: 23). The record from “Minnesota” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 174) needs confirmation. Fossil remnants from a Plio-Pleistocene sequence have been unearthed in northwestern Greenland ( Böcher 1995: 26).
