Calleida decora (Fabricius, 1801)

Carabus decorus Fabricius, 1801: 181 [primary homonym of Carabus decorus Panzer, 1799]. Type locality: «Carolina» (original citation). Syntype(s) location unknown (Zimsen 1964: 53), though according to Motschulsky (1855a: 51) in ZMUC. Note. This name is a junior primary homonym of Carabus decorus Panzer, 1799 (= Bembidion decorum (Panzer, 1799)). Since both names apply to taxa not considered congeneric since 1899, the case is to be referred to the Commission and meanwhile prevailing usage of both names must be maintained (ICZN 1999: Article 23.9.5).
