Amara john-sahlbergi Csiki, 1929: 464. Replacement name for Amara ruficornis Sahlberg, 1880. Etymology. The specific name was proposed in honor of the Finnish John Reinhold Sahlberg [1845-1920], professor of entomology at the University of Helsinki and one of the leading European entomologist of his time. Sahlberg collected extensively in Scandinavia but also made several expeditions to other parts of Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East, and Siberia. He worked primarily on Hemiptera and Coleoptera . Both his father, Reinhold Ferdinand Sahlberg [1811-1874], and grandfather, Carl Reinhold Sahlberg [1779-1860], were also naturalists and involved in entomology.

Distribution.

This circumpolar species is found from northern Finland to the Far East (Hieke 2003a: 561) and from the west coast of Alaska (Lindroth 1968: 673) to Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 96-97), south to Nova Scotia (Lindroth 1968: 673), the Magdalen Islands, Gaspé Peninsula (Larochelle 1975: 48), southern Minnesota (Gandhi et al. 2005: 929), northern Colorado (LeConte, 1878a: 450, as Amara cylindrica ; Hayward 1908: 28, as Amara rufimana ; Armin 1963: 209, as Amara melanogastrica ) along the Rocky Mountains, and southeastern British Columbia (Lindroth 1968: 673); isolated on Mount Washington in New Hampshire (CNC). The records from Prince Edward Island (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 192, see Majka et al. 2008: 131), “Wisconsin” (Wickham 1896b: 36, as Amara rufimana ), northwestern Iowa (Wickham 1911b: 6, as Amara rufimana ), and "South Dakota" (Hayward 1908: 28, as Amara rufimana ) are probably in error; those from "New Mexico" (Hamilton 1894a: 10, as Amara eschscholtzii ) and Seboomook in Maine (Dearborn and Donahue 1993: 6) need confirmation. Fossil remnants of this species, dated between about 16,700 and 18,100 years B.P., have been unearthed in southeastern Iowa (Baker et al. 1986: 96).
