Anisodactylus binotatus (Fabricius, 1787)

Carabus 2notatus Fabricius, 1787: 199. Type locality: "Kiliae [Germany]" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Lindroth (1968: 851), in ZMUC.

Distribution.

This Palaearctic species is adventive in North America where it is known from the Skeena River valley in central British Columbia (Spence and Spence 1988: 158) to northeastern Oregon, east to west-central Montana (Hansen et al. 2009: 353) [see Noonan 1996: Fig. 230]; the species has been recorded also from Sacramento County in California (Clark 1999: 202). The specimen simply labeled from Nevada and the one labeled from Dickenson County in Iowa (Noonan 1996: 113) are likely mislabeled. The first inventoried specimen collected on this continent was found in 1911 at Portland, Oregon (Noonan 1996: 38). The species is also adventive in New Zealand since 1938 (Larochelle and Larivière 2005: 35).
