Pterostichus palmi Schaeffer, 1910

Pterostichus palmi Schaeffer, 1910: 393. Type locality: "North Carolina" (original citation), restricted to "Mount Mitchell State Park, Yancey Co[unty]" by Bousquet (1999: 125). Holotype (♂) in USNM [# 42499]. Etymology. The specific name honors Charles Palm [1836-1917], founder of the firm Palm, Fechteler & Co. in New York City which introduced the decalcomania industry in the United States. Born in Germany, Palm collected butterflies and beetles. His Coleoptera collection went to the American Museum of Natural History.

Distribution.

This species is found at high elevation in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, Tennessee (Barr 1969: 72), Kentucky (Jackson County, Foster F. Purrington pers. comm. 2009), and northern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 24), including the Black, Bald, Great Balsam, and Great Smoky Mountains. The record from “Virginia” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 172) needs confirmation.
