Abstract
All species-group names of Trachypachidae, Rhysodidae, and Carabidae (including cicindelincs) correctly recorded from America north of Mexico are catalogued with state and province records. Valid names are listed with the author(s), date of publication, and page citation in their current and original combinations while all synonyms are provided in their original combinations. Genus-group names are recorded with the author(s), date of publication, page citation, type species, and kind of type species fixation. Species groups were preferred to subgenera but subscneric names are also listed.The following nomenclatural changes are proposed and discussed:Bembidion neocoerulescensBousquet, new replacement name forB.coerulescensVan Dyke, 1925;Chlaenius circumcinctusSay, 1830 forC.perplexusDejean, 1831;Cyclotrachelus dejeanellus(Csiki, 1930) forC.morio(Dejean, 1828);Cyclotrachelus freitagiBousquet, new replacement name forC.obsoletus(Say, 1830);Dyschirius aeneolusLeConte, 1850 forD.frigidusMannerheim, 1853;Harpalus laevipesZetterstedt, 1828 forH.quadripunctatusDejean, 1829;Harpalus providensCasey, 1914 forH.viduusLeConte, 1865;Harpalus reversusCasey, 1924 forH.funerariusCsiki, 1932;Notiophilus sierranusCasey, 1920 forN.obscurusFall, 1901;PseudamaraLindroth, 1968 forDisamaraLindroth, 1976;Pterostichus trinarius(Casey, 1918) forP.ohionisCsiki, 1930;Stenolophus carboBousquet, new replacement name forS.carbonarius(Dejean, 1829).Thirty-six new synonyms are established and seven, considered as questionable, are confirmed.
