Notiophilus sylvaticus Dejean, 1831

Notiophilus sylvaticus Dejean, 1831: 589. Type locality: «détroit de Norfolk [= Sitka Sound, Baranof Island, Alaska], sur la côte nord-ouest de l’Amérique septentri onale " (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] probably in MHNP. Note. Eschscholtz (1833: 24) first described this species and the name has been attributed to him since. However, Dejean (1831: 589) published the name earlier as a junior synonym of Notiophilus biguttatus and the name therefore is available from its first publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999: Article 11.6.1). The date of 1829 attributed by Lindroth (1961a: 99) to this name, under the authorship of Eschscholtz, is in error.

Distribution.

This species ranges from southern Alaska (Lindroth 1961a: 100) to northern California, at least as far south as Mendocino County (Fall 1906: 89), east to northern Idaho (Hatch 1953: 61). Fossil remnants, dated from the Late Pleistocene, have been unearthed in northeastern Siberia (Kiselev 1981: 12).
