Pterostichus relictus (Newman, 1838)

Feronia relicta Newman, 1838a: 387. Type locality: "northern states of America" (original citation, see page 388), restricted to "Allegheny, Penns[ylvania]" by Lindroth (1966: 495). Lectotype, designated by Lindroth (1966: 495), in BMNH.

Pterostichus protensus LeConte, 1863c: 12. Type locality: «Pennsylvania» (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Bousquet (1999: 139), in MCZ [# 5633]. Synonymy established by LeConte (1873a: 306), confirmed by Lindroth (1966: 495).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from northeastern New York (Notman 1928: 222) to southern Michigan (Eaton and Washtenaw Counties, UMAA), including southernmost Ontario (Lindroth 1966: 496), south to southwestern Indiana (Blatchley 1910: 93) and along the Appalachian Mountains to northern South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 67) and central Alabama ( Löding 1945: 16; Stockton 1954: Fig. 18). The records from eastern Kansas (Snow 1880: 78, as Pterostichus protensus ; Knaus 1907: 233) are likely in error.
