Agonum canadense Goulet, 1969

Agonum elongatulum Haldeman, 1843b: 300 [secondary homonym of Agonum elongatulum (Dejean, 1828)]. Type locality: southeastern Pennsylvania (Haldeman 1843a: 297). One possible syntype, a ♂ labeled "[pink disc] / elongatulum Hald. [handwritten] / picipennis 4 [handwritten]," in MCZ (Lindroth 1966: 581).

Agonum canadense Goulet, 1969: 279. Type locality: "Bala, N[orth]W[est] Gravenhurst, Ontario" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in CNC [# 11574]. New synonymy. Note. The specimen probably belonging to Agonum elongatulum Haldeman in LeConte’s collection is conspecific with specimens of Agonum canadense Goulet. Goulet’s name is retained as valid since Haldeman’s name is a junior homonym of Agonum elongatulum (Dejean).

Distribution.

This species is found from Cape Breton Island (Bousquet 1987d: 106) to southern Manitoba (Goulet 1969: 280), south to east-central South Dakota (Larsen and Purrington 2010: 570), northern Illinois (Goulet 1969: 280), and northern West Virginia (Tucker and Preston Counties, CMNH). The record from “Nebraska” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 253) needs confirmation.
