Amara aulica (Panzer, 1796)

Carabus ruficornis DeGeer, 1774: 95 [nomen dubium]. Type locality not stated. Syntype(s) lost.

Carabus aulicus Panzer, 1796b: no 3. Type locality: "Brunsvigiae [= Brunswick, Germany]" (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (possibly in ZMHB). Synonymy established with doubt by Schönherr (1806: 181).

Distribution.

This European species is adventive in North America where it is known from Newfoundland (Larson and Langor 1982: 593) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Lindroth 1955a: 95) to the Saint Lawrence Valley in Quebec (Larochelle 1975: 42), south to Boston Harbor, Massachusetts (Davidson et al. 2011: 512). The first inventoried specimen collected on this continent was found in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia in 1929 (Fall 1934: 171). The record from the Similkameen Valley in British Columbia (Smith et al. 2004: 96) was based on a misidentified specimen of Amara carinata LeConte (personal observation).
