Distribution.

This subspecies, also known as the "Badlands Tiger Beetle", ranges in patchy colonies from eastern Alaska south through the Rocky Mountains to northeastern New Mexico and southern Utah, east to western North Dakota and western Nebraska [see Knisley et al. 2012: Figs 23, 24]. The records from “Kansas” (Leng 1902: 134) and “Manitoba” (Knisley et al. 2012: 14) need confirmation.
