Agonum errans (Say, 1823)

Feronia errans Say, 1823b: 147. Type locality: "Buena Vista [Chaffee County], Col[orado]" (neotype label). Neotype (♀), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 347), in MCZ [# 33016].

Agonum erythropum Kirby, 1837: 28 [secondary homonym of Agonum erythropum (Dejean, 1828)]. Type locality: «Canada» (original citation). One syntype in BMNH (Lindroth 1953b: 171). Synonymy established by LeConte (1879b: 56), confirmed by Lindroth (1953b: 171).

Platynus subcordatus LeConte, 1850: 205. Replacement name for Platynus erythropus (Kirby, 1837). Note. Although not explicitly indicated, I believe LeConte (1850: 205) proposed Platynus subcordatus as a replacement name for Platynus erythropus (Kirby) but that he forgot to add the parallels (‖) after Kirby’s name as usual; he did so subsequently (LeConte 1854b: 52). Lindroth (1966: 616) made the same assumption. Because LeConte’s name was proposed as a replacement name, the specimen labeled as type [# 5760] of Platynus subcordatus in MCZ has no status (see ICZN 1999: Article 72.7).

Distribution.

This species ranges from the Saguenay River in Quebec (Larochelle 1975: 35) to southeastern British Columbia (Lindroth 1966: 616), south to “Oregon” (Hatch 1953: 143), New Mexico (LeConte 1879b: 56; UASM), “Texas” (LeConte 1858a: 28, as Platynus subcordatus ), and southeastern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 111).
