Chlaenius augustus Newman, 1838

Chlaenius augustus Newman, 1838a: 490. Type locality: "Wilmington [New Castle County], Delaware" (original citation). Syntype(s) probably lost.

Chlaenius lecontei Haldeman, 1843b: 304. Type locality: North America (inferred from title of the paper). Two probable syntypes, a ♀ labeled "[orange disc] / C. augustus Newm. Lecontei Hald. [handwritten]" and a ♂ labeled "[orange disc] / 355. [handwritten] / angustus 2 [handwritten]," in MCZ (collection LeConte). Synonymy established by LeConte (1847: 433).

Distribution.

This species ranges from New Jersey (Bell 1960: 121) to east-central South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 80) and southwestern Alabama ( Löding 1945: 23; Bell 1960: 121). The record from “Mississippi” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 204) needs confirmation.
