O t h e r m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d 2 of Amara ( Leiocnemis ) abnormis TSCHITSCHERINE 1894 , labelled: " Asia minor Biledjik v. Bodemeyer" / " Amara ( Liocn .) abnormis Tsch. det. F. Hieke 1975" (MNHN, collection generale, genus Amara , box no 36). Recently, this taxon was placed among the incertae sedis species of Pterostichus and treated as nomen dubium (CATPAL 1: BOUSQUET 2003d: 515 ). Study of the holotype revealed that it belongs to genus Amara and is conspecific with Amara ( Leiocnemis ) abnormis TSCHITSCHERINE 1894 . The description of Gautier des Cottes was printed in Mitteilungen der Schweizer. Entomologischen Gesellschaft, Band 2, nr. 8 in February of 1868. Therefore, his taxon has priority over the taxon described by TSCHITSCHERINE (1894). For additional notes on the nomenclature of Amara abnormis see HIEKE (2009) .
