Note.

Lindroth (1966: 493) discussed the status of this taxon and at the time regarded it as an extreme, southern form of Pterostichus stygicus . Lindroth (1975: 124) later listed it as specifically distinct from Pterostichus stygicus and listed Pterostichus iripennis (Nicolay and Weiss) as synonym.
