Cymindis unicolor Kirby, 1837

Cymindis unicolor Kirby, 1837: 14. Type locality: northern parts of British America (inferred from title of the paper), restricted to "Fort Smith, N[orth] W[est] Terr[itories]" by Lindroth (1969a: 1083). Holotype [by monotypy] in BMNH (Lindroth 1953b: 169).

Cymindis hudsonica LeConte, 1863c: 6. Type locality: "Methy Lake [Saskatchewan] and Labrador" (original citation). One syntype in MCZ [# 5828]. Synonymy established by LeConte (1873b: 322), confirmed by Lindroth (1955a: 130).

Cymindis parowana Casey, 1924: 88. Type locality: "Parowan M[oun]t[ain]s (10000 ft.) [Juab County] Utah" (original citation for the lectotype). Lectotype (♂), designated by Lindroth (1975: 146), in USNM [# 47592]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1955a: 130).

Distribution.

This species occurs from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 131) to southwestern Yukon Territory (Shpeley and Ball 1999: 422), south to the Sierra Nevada in east-central California (Papp 1978: 165; Nelson 1988a: Fig. 1), Santa Catalina Mountains in southern Arizona (Nelson 1988a: Fig. 1), and southern Colorado (Wickham 1902: 240; Lindroth 1969a: 1085); isolated on some mountains of northern New England. The records from “Vermont,” “Massachusetts,” “Connecticut,” and "Rhode Island" (Erwin et al. 1977: 4.58) are likely in error; that from Alaska (Lindroth 1969a: 1085) probably refers to Cymindis vaporariorum Linnaeus (Shpeley and Ball 1999: 423). Fossil remnants of this species, dated between 11,200 and 20,530 years old, have been found in northeastern Wisconsin (Schwert 1992: 78), south-central Minnesota (Ashworth et al. 1981: 77), and southeastern and northeastern Iowa (Baker et al. 1986: 96; Schwert 1992: 78; Woodman et al. 1996: 17).
