Pterostichus spraguei LeConte, 1873

Pterostichus spraguei LeConte, 1873a: 313. Type locality: «Nevada» (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Bousquet (1999: 181), in MCZ [# 5609]. Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Philip Shaw Sprague [1829-1874], an active member of the Boston Society of Natural History. Sprague started collecting beetles in his 30s and his collection went to the Boston Society.

Distribution.

Besides the lectotype, I have seen one specimen, probably of this species, from Mono County, California (CNC). The species was also reported from Zion National Park, Utah, by Tanner (1928: 270).
