Psyche 
[September 
tion is by no means conclusive but the name should be used according 
to general practice, as expressed in coll. Lee. (MCZ). A cf from 
N. Fork S. Platte Canyon, Colo., designated as neotype. — Amara 
avida [Lth. 1968, p. 689]. 
1265 (syn.) Amara furtiva (1834: 429). Type area Indiana. 
As stated by Hayward ( 1908, p. 40), Say’s description was apparently 
based upon immature specimens. Except for the color, all characters 
mentioned fit the species previously described by Dejean (1828, p. 
509) as exarata , of which furtiva has always been regarded as a syn- 
onym. A cf from Wabash Valley, Richland & Lawrence Co., 111., 
designated as neotype. — Amara exarata Dej. [Lth. 1968, p. 680]. 
1281 Feronia ohesa (1823b: 37). Type loc. Harrowgate, Penn. 
Say’s description is not conclusive but the name has always been used 
in its present sense, that is, for the only widespread species of subg. 
Percosia. As neotype I have selected a pronounced representative of 
the eastern form (against diffinis Lee.; see Lth., 1968). A cf from 
Charity Island, Mich., designated as neotype. — - A?nara ohesa [Lth., 
1968, p. 690]. 
1372 Feronia musculis (1823b: 35). Type area, coast of Vir- 
ginia. Say’s description, though not conclusive, fits il musculus n auct. 
In the Paris Museum is a cf of this species carrying four green 
Dejean labels: (a) “cf”; (b) “musculis Say, in Amer. bor.”; (c) 
“D. Say”; (d) “Harpalus proletarius Melsh. St.” The latter is a 
manuscript name never published but listed in Dej.’s Catalogues of 
1833 and 1836. The Paris cf has been designated as lectotype. There 
is no reason to change Say’s original spelling into “musculus.” — - 
Amara musculis [Lth., 1968, p. 706]. 
1385 Feronia impuncticollis ( 1823b: 36). Type area Penn., named 
in the first place, herewith designated. Say’s description cannot be 
interpreted. Since the basal pore-puncture of the elytra is not men- 
tioned, it fits not only lift oralis Mnh. but several other members of 
subg. Amara s. str., with pale antennal base. A. impuncticollis , as 
here conceived, and littoralis have been generally confused (for sep- 
arating characters, see Lth., 1968, p. 730), as by Lee. and by Hay- 
ward (1908). The first specimens both in coll. Lee. and in coll. 
Hayward (MCZ) belong, however, to the present species and, since 
it is more southern in distribution, it is likely that Say’s specimens 
from Penn, belonged to the same species. A cf from N. Cumber- 
land, Penn. (coll. Fall), designated as neotype and the place as type 
loc. — Amara impuncticollis [Lth., 1968, p. 728]. 
1429 Feronia bctsillaris (1823b: 35). No type area given; Dover, 
Mass., designated as type loc. by Lth. (1968). The description,
