Amara schwarzi Hayward, 1908

Isopleurus septentrionalis LeConte, 1847: 358 [secondary homonym of Amara septentrionalis Curtis, 1840]. Type locality: "Lacum Superiorem" (original citation), herein restricted to Marquette, Marquette County, Michigan (USNM). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 7386].

Amara schwarzi Hayward, 1908: 42. Replacement name for Amara septentrionalis (LeConte, 1847). Note. Because Hayward’s name was expressly proposed as a replacement name, the syntype of Amara schwarzi Hayward in MCZ [# 25669] has no status (see ICZN 1999: Article 72.7).

Distribution.

This species inhabits the Laurentian Highlands from the north shore of the Saint Lawrence Gulf (Larochelle 1975: 48) to the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1968: 684), south to central Washington (Kittitas County, CMNH), southwestern Alberta (Indian Creek at 49 º48’ N - 114 º07’ W, CNC), northeastern Minnesota, and the upper peninsula of Michigan (Lindroth 1968: 684). The record from South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 26) was based on a small specimen of Amara latior in MCZ; those from Labrador (Larochelle 1975: 48) and Yukon Territory (Lindroth 1968: 684), and probably also from Colorado (Wickham 1902: 237), refer to Amara lindrothi (CNC). The records from Ohio (Everly 1927: 155), New Jersey (Smith 1910: 206), and "New York" (Leng and Beutenmüller 1893: 139; Wickham 1896b: 38) are likely in error; that from northern Wisconsin along Lake Superior (Wickham 1896c: 133, as Amara septentrionalis ) needs confirmation.
