Amara littoralis Dejean, 1828

Amara littoralis Dejean, 1828: 467. Type locality: «détroit de Norfolk [= Norfolk Sound, Baranof Island, Alaska] sur la côte nord-ouest de l’Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] probably in MHNP. Note. Mannerheim (1843: 207) first described this species and the name has been attributed to him since. However Dejean (1828: 467) published the name as a junior synonym of Amara plebeja and the name is available from its publication as a synonym (ICZN 1999: Article 11.6.1). Consequently the lectotype designated by Lindroth (1968: 730) in ZMH is not part of the type series and loses its status (ICZN 1999: Article 72.4.3).

Amara fallax LeConte, 1847: 362. Type locality: "Lacum Superiorem" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♀) in MCZ [# 5678]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 318).

Amara mystica Casey, 1918: 298. Type locality: "San Francisco [San Francisco County], California" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1975: 135), in USNM [# 47286]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 730), confirmed by Hieke (1994: 318).
