Harpalus solitaris Dejean, 1829

Carabus fuliginosus Duftschmid, 1812: 83 [primary homonym of Carabus fuliginosus Panzer, 1809]. Type locality: "um Linz [Austria]" (original citation). Syntype(s) probably lost (Lindroth 1968: 798).

Harpalus lapponicus Zetterstedt, 1828: 26 [primary homonym of Harpalus lapponicus Sahlberg, 1827]. Type locality: "Lapponia Tornensi; Juckasjervi [Sweden]" (original citation). Five syntypes in ZMLS (Lindroth 1938: 18). Synonymy established by Schaum (1860: 596). Note. This name was listed as nomen oblitum by Kataev et al. (2003: 382) and Harpalus solitaris Dejean, 1829 as nomen protectum. Since Harpalus lapponicus Zetterstedt, 1828 is a junior primary homonym, there is no need for such qualifiers.

Harpalus solitaris Dejean, 1829: 337. Type locality: "Kamtschatka [Russia]; nord de la Laponie" (original citation). Syntype(s) in MHNP. Synonymy established, under the name Harpalus lapponicus Zetterstedt, by Mäklin (1857: 179).

Distribution.

The range of this Holarctic species extends in northern North America from Newfoundland to south-central Alaska (Lindroth 1968: 799), south to east-central British Columbia, “Minnesota” (Lindroth 1968: 799), northeastern Wisconsin (Messer 2010: 41), “Michigan” (Lindroth 1968: 799), and Maine (Noonan 1991: 187) [see Noonan 1991: Fig. 294]. The records from the Sierra Nevada and Colorado (Elias 1987: 633) are probably in error; that from Prince Edward Island (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 237) needs confirmation (see Majka et al. 2008: 132).
