Psyche 
[September 
lus). Say’s description gives no clue; the color seems too dark even 
for the dark form of rupestris and fits lecontei Cki. much better, but 
this species is excluded by the reported presence of scutellar and 
dorsal punctures on the elytra. The name should be treated as a 
nomen dubium and no neotype should be designated. 
2174 Stenolophus cinctus (1834: 434). Type area Massachusetts. 
Say placed this species in a. different genus from rupestris , Stenolo- 
phus contra Acupalpus (1834, P* 435 )) and compared it with ochro- 
pezus Say. The scutellar stria is said to be lacking, as is often the case 
in S. humidus Ham. which, actually ? could be concerned. Lee. 
(1859b, p. 548), however, did not hesitate to regard cinctus as “a 
variety” of rupestris ; Casey (1914), as a distinct species of Brady cel- 
lus (Stenocellus) . Say’s name should be regarded as a nomen dubium 
and no neotype should be designated. 
2218 Feronia ochropeza (1823b: 54). No type area given. In 
the Paris Museum is a cf with two green Dejean labels: (a) “ochro- 
pezus Say, in Amer. bor.”; (b) “D. Say.” It agrees with the general 
concept of ochropezus and I have designated it as lectotype . Desig- 
nated type loc. : Camden, S. C. (Lth., 1968). — Stenolophus ochro- 
pezus [Lth., 1968, p. 91 1]. 
2238 Trechus conjunctus (1823b: 40). No type area given. Say’s 
description seems sufficient for an interpretation. A cf from White 
Sulphur Springs, W. Va., designated as neotype , and the place as 
type loc. — Stenolophus conjunctus [Lth., 1968, p. 921]. 
2249 Trechus partiarius (1823b: 90). No type area given. Say’s 
careful description of color and of the punctuation of the prothorax 
seems to exclude other species of subg. Tachistodes and agrees with 
Lec.’s concept of partiarius as expressed in his collection (MCZ). 
A $ from Gorham, 111 ., designated as neotype , and the place as type 
loc. (Lth., 1968). — Acupalpus (Tachistodes) partiarius [Lth., 1968, 
P- 937 ]. 
2287 Omophron tesselatum (1823a,: 152). Type loc. Elkhorn 
Creek, “Missouri” (= NE Nebraska). Say’s description of the 
color pattern of the head seems to exclude other species. Say spelled 
the name with one “ 1 ” and so did, rightly, Benschoter & Cook (1956, 
p. 422). A cf from Kansas designated as neotype. — Omophron 
tesselatum [Lth., 1961, p. 12]. 
Summary 
Thomas Say described 147 species of ground-beetles ( Carabidae , 
excl. Cincindelinae ) from North America north of Mexico. His 
collection was destroyed, but before that he sent material of several
