Distribution.

This species ranges from southeastern New Hampshire (Rockingham County, Ross T. Bell pers. comm. 2008) to southeastern Colorado (Michels et al. 2008), including southern Ontario (CNC), south to southern Mexico (Liebherr 1994: 20) and southern Florida (Peck and Thomas 1998: 23), west along the southwest to southern California (Liebherr 1994: 19-20); also recorded from the Bahamas and Bermuda where it is probably adventive (Hilburn and Gordon 1989: 677; Liebherr 1994: 19). The record from Quebec (Lindroth 1966: 622) refers to Agonum rufipes (Lindroth 1969a: 1120); that from northern Wisconsin along Lake Superior (Wickham 1896c: 134) is probably in error.
