Synonymy established by Lindroth (1968: 728). Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Joseph Sanford Wade [1880-1961], scientific assistant at the U.S. Bureau of Entomology in Washington DC.

Distribution.

This species is found east of the Rocky Mountains from Maine to at least southern Wisconsin, including southern Quebec and the Ontario Peninsula, south to southern Texas (Hieke 2000: 69), southeastern Louisiana (East Baton Rouge Parish, Igor M. Sokolov pers. comm. 2009), and southern Georgia (Torres and Ruberson 2006: 31). One specimen is known also from Nuevo León in Mexico and four from Costa Rica (Hieke 2000: 69). Several old records listed by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993: 196) (e.g., CO, CT, DE, FL, MB, MN, MS, NB, NF, NM, NS, PE, RI, SD, SK, VT) refer to Amara otiosa Casey or need confirmation. The record from Montana listed by Hieke (2000: 69) refers to Missouri; that from British Columbia (Jarrett and Scudder 2001: 380) is likely in error.
