Platynus prognathus Van Dyke, 1926
Platynus prognathus
Van Dyke, 1926a: 119. Type locality: "S[ain]t Simon[s] Island, Georgia" (original citation). Holotype (♀) in CAS [# 1861]. Note. Van Dyke (1926a: 119) recorded the type locality as "St. Simon Island, Okefinokee Swamp, Georgia". I have not been able to locate such island in the Okefinokee Swamp in Georgia.
Distribution.
This characteristic species is known for sure only from the holotype. However, Fattig (1949) recorded it also from Dalton, Georgia but the specimen(s) was apparently destroyed (Liebherr 1990: 432).
