loc. is proposed below. — Say’s description cannot be interpreted. His 
forma typica (nominate form), because it has “feet black,” is more 
likely to be referred to aquaticus L., whereas his “Var. a,” with 
“tibiae piceous,” may be sernistriatus auct. The “Var. z 8 ” of 1823 
was later (1834) by Say separated as distinct under the name of 
porrectus (— aeneus Hbst.). Say’s concept of sernistriatus was thus 
composite and, though Lee. (e. g. 1848, p. 450) confused it with 
his novemstriatus , it seems permissable to retain the name as generally 
used in this century, that is, for the species with a single preapical 
elytral puncture and pale tibiae. Fall (1906, pp. 79, 84) reports 
that F. Blanchard saw “undoubtedly authentic exponents of Say’s 
sernistriatus ” in the collections of Harris, Melsheimer and Ziegler, 
and that these agreed with the present concept of the species’ name. — 
A cf from Fairfax, Va., with genital slide, was designated as neotype 
and this place as new type loc. (see above). — Notiophilus semi- 
striatus [Lth. 1961, p. 94]. 
292 Nebria pallipes (1823b: 78). No type area given; Boston, 
Mass., designated as type loc. by Lth. (1961, p. 76). Say mentions 
the two pale frontal spots and the interpretation of his name is there- 
fore certain. A c? from Monterey, Mass., designated as neotype. — 
Nebria pallipes [Lth. 1961, p. 76]. 
305 Pasimachus subsulcatus (1823b: 19). Type areas “Georgia 
and Florida.” Dej. (1826, p. 471) mentions that he has received 
this species from Say and in MNP is a specimen (sex not determined) 
with one of the characteristic green Dej. labels: “subsulcatus Say, in 
Amer. bor. — D. Say.” It agrees with Say’s description, except that 
the “obsolete rudiments of punctures” on the elytra are virtually 
absent. I have designated this specimen as lectotype. The species is 
unusually variable, as described by Leng (1915, p. 566) and Biin- 
ninger (1950, pp. 495, 502). The lectotype belongs to what the 
latter author regards as the typical form : the inner elytral intervals 
are clearly indicated, nrs. 3 & 5 broader and more convex. It agrees 
fairly well with ex. nr. 4 in coll. Lec. ? whereas his exx. nrs. 1-3 
belong to what Banninger ( l.c., p. 495 ) , with some doubt, regards 
as sbsp. subnitens Csy. The lectotype also agrees with 1 ex., Sanford, 
Fla. (MCZ), except that, in this, the costae and punctures of elytra 
are better developed. Florida is herewith designated as type area. — 
Pasimachus subsulcatus [Banninger 1950, pp. 495, 502]. 
331 Clivina globulosa (1823b: 23). No type area given. It is 
a Dyschirius belonging to a very difficult group and Say’s description 
cannot be interpreted. The name is here applied to the commonest and 
most widespread member of the group, as described by Lth. (1961,
