Brachinus texanus Chaudoir, 1868

Brachinus texanus Chaudoir, 1868b: 299. Type locality: «Texas» (original citation), herein restricted to Wolfe City, Hunt County (see Erwin 1970a: 63). Lectotype (♂), designated by Erwin (1970a: 60), in MHNP.

Distribution.

This species ranges from Massachusetts to “Minnesota,” south to the Rio Grande River in southern Texas and west-central Florida [see Erwin 1970a: Fig. 108]. The species is quite common west of the Mississippi Basin and south of latitude 40°, but known only from a few isolated localities outside this area. The record from southeastern Alberta (Erwin 1970a: 62) is possibly based on a mislabeled specimen or a stray; that from Riverside County, California (Dajoz 2007: 19) is probably in error.
