Treatment

Poecilus bicolor LeConte, 1846b: 232 [secondary homonym of Pterostichus bicolor (Aragona, 1830)]. Type locality: "ad Rocky Mountains" (original citation). One syntype in MCZ [# 5640]. Note. LeConte (1853a: 255) stated that he had a single specimen of this species.

Pterostichus coloradensis Csiki, 1930: 591. Replacement name for Pterostichus bicolor (LeConte, 1846).

Distribution.

This species is known for sure only from the syntype. The records from northeastern Kansas (Horn 1872c: 385; Popenoe 1878: 78) are suspect.

Records.

USA: [CO, KS]

Note.

Adults of this species are structurally similar to, and possibly conspecific with, those of Poecilus lucublandus Say as defined by Lindroth (1966: 482-483).
