Chrysostigma lepidum ocellatum Lapouge, 1931: 381. Type locality: "Canada méridional, Etats-Unis" (original citation). Syntype(s) probably in MCZ, BMNH, and MHNP. Synonymy established with the name Calosoma expansum Casey by Lapouge (1931: 381). Note. This name was proposed for Calosoma calidum (Fabricius, 1775) sensu Dejean (1826: 197), Kirby (1837: 19), LeConte (1878e: 65), Burgess and Collins (1917: 98) and Breuning (1928a: 84).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from Newfoundland (Larson and Langor 1982: 592) and Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Lindroth 1955a: 28) to eastern British Columbia (Lindroth 1961a: 51), south to “Oregon” (Hatch 1953: 52), northeastern New Mexico (Casey 1897: 344), “Kansas” (Horn 1872c: 384), east-central Missouri (Summers 1873: 133), and northern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 11); several specimens have also been caught along the Slave and Mackenzie Rivers, up to 65°30'N, in Northwest Territories (White 1851: 357; Lindroth 1961a: 51). The records from southeastern Louisiana (Summers 1874a: 79), “Alabama,” “Arkansas,” and “Mississippi” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 72) are probably in error.

Note.

Gidaspow (1959: 266) treated Calosoma concretum Casey as a valid species. However, both Lindroth (1961a: 50) and Obydov (2003: 534) retained the name as synonym of Calosoma calidum (Fabricius).
