Agonum darlingtoni Lindroth, 1954

Agonum darlingtoni Lindroth, 1954b: 159. Type locality: "Lexington [Middlesex County], Mass[achusetts]" (holotype label). Holotype (♂) in MCZ [# 29072]. Etymology. The specific name honors Philip Jackson Darlington, Jr. [1904-1983], field naturalist, biogeographer, and systematist, specialist of the family Carabidae . Darlington was curator of entomology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Note. Although Lindroth’s description is very short, I believe he met the requirements of availability for a species-group name published after 1930 (ICZN 1999: Article 13.1). Lindroth (1955c: 12) redescribed the species in length.

Distribution.

This species is restricted to a small area from Nova Scotia to the Ontario Peninsula (Lindroth 1966: 583), south to central Pennsylvania (Clinton County, CMNH) and New Jersey (Lindroth 1966: 583).
