Metacolpodes buchanani (Hope, 1831)

Colpodes buchanani Hope, 1831: 21 (as buchannani). Type locality: Nepal (inferred from title of the paper). Syntype(s) probably in BMNH. Note. The spelling buchanani, used by most authors, is an incorrect subsequent spelling, introduced by Lacordaire (1854: 361), in prevailing usage and attributed to the publication of the original spelling; therefore it is deemed to be the correct original spelling (ICZN 1999: Article 33.3.1).

Agonum sargentorum Malkin and Hatch, 1952: 107. Type locality: "Eugene [Lane County], Oregon" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in USNM. Synonymy established by Malkin and Hatch (1953: 134).

Distribution.

This adventive species is known in North America from a few specimens collected in southern British Columbia (Jarrett and Scudder 2001: 382), southwestern Washington (Pacific County, Peter W. Messer pers. comm. 2011), western Oregon (Hatch 1953: 132), and northern Idaho (Liebherr and Will 1996: 303). The first specimen collected on this continent was found in 1931 in Portland, Oregon (Hatch 1953: 132). The species is also adventive in Hawaii (Liebherr and Zimmerman 2000: 466).
