Scaphinotus bilobus (Say, 1823)

Cychrus bilobus Say, 1823a: 73. Type locality: "Nipigon, W[estern] Ont[ario]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 330), in MCZ [# 33093]. Note. Say (1823a) did not indicate the area where his specimen(s) came from but later (Say 1828: [102]) noted that his "first specimen was obtained in Missouri, and I caught another in the North-Western Territory."

Distribution.

This species ranges from Cape Breton Island to southeastern Manitoba, south to eastern Kansas (Popenoe 1877: 22), southeastern Missouri, and Massachusetts [see Gidaspow 1973: Fig. 6]. The record from southeastern Pennsylvania (Rathvon 1869: 524) is likely in error.
