described as unicolorous (“dull reddish-brown”) but, since the size 
is given as virtually the same as for parmatus (3/10 and less than 
3/10 of an inch, respectively), the name cinctus cannot be referred 
to any of the small species of the genus. Lee. (1859b, p. 537) re- 
ports that a specimen of cinctus was sent to him by Melsheimer and 
that it did not differ from parmatus. This was most probably an 
authentic Say specimen and the synonymy should be accepted. There 
is no reason to designate a neotype. — Olisthopus parmatus [Lth., 
1966, p. 553]. 
1642 Lebia atriventris (1823b: 13). No type area given. Say’s 
description of the coloration is decisive. A $ from Arlington, Mass., 
designated as neotype, and the place as type loc. — - Lebia atriventris 
[Madge 1967, p. 153]. 
1643 Lebia tricolor (1832b: 11). Type area Pennsylvania, named 
in the first place, herewith designated. Say’s description is conclusive. 
In the Paris Museum is a big $ (8.5 mm.) with two green Dejean 
labels: (a) “tricolor Say, in Amer. Bor.”; (b) “D. Say.” This I 
have designated as lectotype. — Lebia tricolor [Madge 1967, p. 156]. 
1655 Lebia viridis (1823b: 14). No type area given. Say’s de- 
scription refers to the brilliant metallic, greenish form of this complex 
species, as conceived by Madge (1967, p. 179 a.f.). To the same form 
belongs the designated neotype : cT , Camp Hill, Penn.; the place 
selected as type loc. — Lebia viridis [Madge 1967, p. 177]. 
1667 Lebia ornata (1823b: 13). No type area given. Say’s de- 
scription of the elytral pattern is decisive; it refers to the northern 
form with small, isolated pale spots (see Madge, 1967, p. 209 a.f.) 8 
and so does the neotype : $ from Wissahickon, Penn., which also is 
designated as type loc. — Lebia ornata [Madge 1967, p. 208]. 
1707 Cymindis viridipennis (1823b: 9). Type area Pennsylvania. 
Say’s description seems conclusive; it fits the 3 ex. in coll. Lee. 
(MCZ), and so does the neotype : $ from Washington Co., Penn.; 
the place designated as type loc. — Calleida viridipennis [Lee. & 
Horn 1882, p. 55]. 
1712 Cymindis purpureus (1823b: 10). Type area “Missouri” 
(probably including Nebraska). Say’s description seems to be con- 
clusive. He calls the penultimate tarsal segment “bilobate” (as for 
viridipennis) , which should exclude the otherwise similar Philopkuga 
viridis Dej. A cf from Nebraska designated as neotype ; it belongs 
to the blue form. — Calleida purpurea [Lee. & Horn 1882, p. 55] * 
1726 Lebia platicollis (1823b: 14). No type area given. A syn- 
8 Madge, by mistake, gives Dejean as author of ornata on all identification 
labels distributed among museum specimens.
