Distribution.

This Palaearctic species is adventive in North America where it is known from southern British Columbia (Hatch 1953: 83; Smith et al. 2004: 96) to northwestern Oregon (Westcott et al. 2006: 7) in the west and from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 49; Larson and Langor 1982: 592) in the east. The first inventoried specimen collected in the eastern part of this continent was found in 1949 (see Lindroth 1955a: 49) and in the western part in 1947 (Hatch 1949c: 145). Fossil remnants from a Plio-Pleistocene sequence have been unearthed in northwestern Greenland ( Böcher 1995: 24).

Note.

Carabus pygmaeus attributed to Paykull (1798: 148) is often listed as a junior synonym of this species. However, Paykull did not describe a new species under that name since he referred to Carabus pygmaeus Fabricius, 1792.
