LeConte (1873a: 306) noted that "the type of Feronia picipes Newm. in the British Museum belongs to this [ Pterostichus stygicus Say] species, but the description does not agree, and seems to refer rather to Pterostichus submarginatus ; there seems to have been some confusion of labels."

Distribution.

This species ranges from Maine (Dearborn and Donahue 1993: 5) to central Iowa ( O’Rourke et al. 2008: 126), south to “Louisiana” (Nicolay and Weiss 1934: 201) and southwestern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 24), west to northeastern Kansas (Popenoe 1877: 23). The record from “Minnesota” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 174) needs confirmation. Fossil remnants from a Plio-Pleistocene sequence have been unearthed in northwestern Greenland ( Böcher 1995: 26).
