Three specimens housed in MNHN (Collection "Magasins Chaudoir", box "  Acupalpus… Haploderus"). Recently, this taxon was placed among the incertae sedisspecies of  Pterostichusand treated as nomen dubium(CATPAL 1: BOUSQUET 2003d: 515). However, long ago  F. carradeiwas treated as synonym of  F. insidiosa( HEYDEN 1883: 72). Two specimens from the type series of Feronia carradei, a male and a female, bear yellow label which are characteristic for the type material of Gautier des Cottes. Such labels present also in specimens from other type series of the same author in MNHN, for example  F. ochracea,  F. similata, etc. The study of the syntypesof Feronia carradeiand their comparison with syntypesof Feronia insidiosaconfirmed that all they are conspecific. FAIRMAIRE (1866)published his description in Annales de la Société Entomologique de France(4) 6: 17-74. The part that includes his paper was printed on 24 October 1866, not on 24 October 1865as indicates page CI of the same volume. The last misapprehension is evident mistake since the earlier trimester of the journal was printed on 22 August 1866, and Fairmaire submitted his paper for consideration in the session on 10 January 1866. Gautier des Cottes published his description in Revue et Magasin de Zoologie Pure et Appliquée (2) 18; his paper was issued in volume 18 on August 1866. Since the work of Gautier des Cottes was printed off earlier than the work of Fairmaire, the taxon described by the former author has precedence above that described by the latter one.   Feronia  insidiosa FAIRMAIRE 1866   Ty p e m a t e r i a l.2, 1 syntypes( lectotypeand paralectotypesby present designation); specification: there is a common handwritten label "  insidiosaFairmaire Anatolie Lederer." pinned on the bottom of box; lectotypebears handwritten label "Anatolie Lederer" pinned beneath the specimen; paralectotypewithout pinned label;  paralectotypebears two additional handwritten labels " Feronia Tapinopterus insidiosat.

In spite of the not examined genitalia of Feronia insidiosa, I am convenient that this taxon is conspecific with  F. carradei. The similarity of the two typeseries and the extraordinary habitus of all studied specimens (big size and quite flat body, light brown to brownish color, characteristic shape of pronotum, etc.) suppose that they are identical and that  P. carradeioccupies isolated position in the subgenus.
