Elaphropus ferrugineus (Dejean, 1831)

Bembidium ferrugineum Dejean, 1831: 59. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation), restricted to "Iowa City [Johnson County], Iowa" by Lindroth (1966: 423). Holotype [by monotypy] apparently lost (Lindroth 1955b: 14). Note. The sole specimen of Elaphropus ferrugineus Dejean in Dejean’s collection is a specimen of Elaphropus tripunctatus (Lindroth 1966: 424) and does not agree with the original description of Bembidion ferrugineum as provided by Dejean.

Tachys ovipennis Chaudoir, 1868b: 215. Type locality: Amérique septentrionale (inferred from title of the paper). Lectotype, designated by Erwin (1974a: 134), in MHNP. Synonymy established by Hayward (1900: 234), confirmed by Lindroth (1966: 423). Note. It is possible that the lectotype of Tachys ovipennis Chaudoir is the holotype of Bembidion ferrugineum Dejean. Chaudoir (1868b: 215) wrote after the description of his Tachys ovipennis "Dejean, chose difficile à comprendre, l’avait confondu avec son ferrugineus, dont il est pourtant tellement distinct."

Distribution.

This species ranges from “Massachusetts” (Hayward 1900: 212) and Connecticut (Krinsky and Oliver 2001: 90) to northeastern Kansas (Popenoe 1878: 79), including eastern Iowa (Lindroth 1966: 423), south to northwestern and central Texas (Barr 1964: 3), southern Alabama (Conecuh County, CMN), and the Florida Panhandle (Washington County, CNC). The records from “Colorado” ( Beutenmüller 1897: 39) and "New Hampshire" (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 151) need confirmation.

Note.

Under this name, LeConte (1863b: 15) listed " truncorum Hald." as synonym. I have not found any species described by that name in Haldeman’s publications.
