Agonum rufipes Dejean, 1828

Agonum rufipes Dejean, 1828: 173. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation), restricted to "Galesburg [Knox County], Illin[ois]" by Lindroth (1966: 621). Two syntypes in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 21).

Platynus rubripes Zimmermann [in LeConte], 1869b: 244. Type locality: «M[arylan]d» (syntype label). One syntype in MCZ [# 5782]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1966: 621).

Distribution.

The range of this eastern species extends from southeastern New Hampshire (Rockingham County, Donald S. Chandler pers. comm. 2009) to eastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 25), including southern Ontario (Lindroth 1969a: 1120), south to southeastern Texas (Casey 1920: 74) and southeastern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 32, as Platynus rubripes ); also recorded from southern Arizona (Casey 1920: 74). The record from Connecticut (Britton 1920: 215, as Platynus rubripes ) needs confirmation (see Krinsky and Oliver 2001: 4); that from Quebec (Lindroth 1966: 622, as Agonum punctiforme ) based on specimens collected by Beaulne are very likely mislabeled.
