Distribution.

This eastern species, also known as the "Appalachian Tiger Beetle", ranges from southwestern New Brunswick (Webster and Bousquet 2008: 16) south to northeastern Georgia, west at least to eastern Kentucky (Laudermilk et al. 2010: 28) [see Pearson et al. 1997: Fig. 15]. Old records from Indiana, northern Illinois, and western Missouri (see Wilson and Larochelle 1980: 37-38) suggest that the species was more widely distributed at one time. Beaton (2008: 40) did not find the species in Georgia during his intensive survey of tiger beetles in the state.
