Etymology. The specific name was proposed for François-Marie-Julien Luczot de La Thébaudais [1769-1844], Chief engineer of Morbihan in France and amateur entomologist with an interest in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera . It is under his chairmanship that 18 entomologists formed the Société Entomologique de France on January 31, 1832 at the headquarters of the Societe philomathique (Peyerimhoff 1932: 4). His son, ship lieutenant Charles Luczot, brought him insects from Newfoundland, Chile, and Madagascar and some of them found their way into the hands of Dejean.

Distribution.

This circumpolar species ranges from Iceland to the coast of Bering Sea (Bousquet 2003d: 487) and from Alaska, including the Aleutian, Kodiak, and possibly Pribilof Islands (Lindroth 1966: 487), to Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 94), south to north-central Pennsylvania (LeConte 1867a: 346, as Platysma luczotii ), northeastern Indiana (Blatchley 1910: 98, as Platysma luczotii ; Schrock 1985: 353), the Black Hills in western South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 22), the Black Range in west-central New Mexico (Fall and Cockerell 1907: 158, as Platysma luczotii ), and the Sierra Nevada in California (Dajoz 2007: 16). The record from Virginia (Goulet 1974a: 19) is apparently based on misidentified specimens of Platysma pensylvanicus (Hoffman 1998: 39); that from “Nebraska” (Schaupp 1882c: 42, as Platysma luczotii ) probably refers to Colorado.
