Distribution.

This species is found east of the Rocky Mountains from Maine to at least southern Wisconsin, including southern Quebec and the Ontario Peninsula, south to southern Texas (Hieke 2000: 69), southeastern Louisiana (East Baton Rouge Parish, Igor M. Sokolov pers. comm. 2009), and southern Georgia (Torres and Ruberson 2006: 31). One specimen is known also from Nuevo León in Mexico and four from Costa Rica (Hieke 2000: 69). Several old records listed by Bousquet and Larochelle (1993: 196) (e.g., CO, CT, DE, FL, MB, MN, MS, NB, NF, NM, NS, PE, RI, SD, SK, VT) refer to Amara otiosa Casey or need confirmation. The record from Montana listed by Hieke (2000: 69) refers to Missouri; that from British Columbia (Jarrett and Scudder 2001: 380) is likely in error.
