Distribution.

A Holarctic species ranging in the Palaearctic Region across Siberia up to the Ob River (Lindroth 1966: 586), south to Kazakhstan and Mongolia (Bousquet 2003c: 454). In North America, the species ranges from Alaska and northern British Columbia to northeastern Alberta (Lindroth 1966: 586). The records from Colorado (Wickham 1902: 238) and New Mexico (Fall and Cockerell 1907: 159) probably refer to Agonum piceolum .
