Agonum nutans (Say, 1823)

Feronia nutans Say, 1823a: 52. Type locality: "Phila[delphia] Neck, P[ennsylvani]a" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 347), in MCZ [# 33013].

Agonum femoratum Dejean, 1828: 145. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Two syntypes in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 20). Synonymy established by LeConte (1846b: 227), confirmed by Lindroth (1955b: 20).

Distribution.

This eastern species is found from southern Quebec (Larochelle 1975: 38) to eastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 24), south to Oklahoma (French et al. 2001: 228; Latimer County, UASM) and the District of Columbia (Ulke 1902: 7). The records from central Arizona (Griffith 1900: 565), northern Colorado (Wickham 1902: 239; Armin 1963: 149), southeastern Texas (Snow 1906a: 141), “Mississippi,” “Alabama” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 259), and “Florida” (LeConte 1879b: 56) are probably in error; those from “Maryland,” “Delaware” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 259), and South Carolina (Kirk 1970: 12, as Agonum possibly nutans) need confirmation.
