Bradycellus atrimedeus (Say, 1823)

Feronia atrimedea Say, 1823a: 39. Type locality: "Iowa City [Johnson County, Iowa]" (neotype label). Neotype (♀), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 355), in MCZ [# 32968]. Note. "the Missouri" was the area originally cited by Say (1823a: 40). Say (1823a: 39) obviously made an error in the epithet atrimedea which comes from the Latin adjectives atrox, - ocis (black) and medius, - a, - um (middle). Most authors, starting with LeConte (1847: 404), have used the spelling atrimedius, but this spelling is not in prevailing usage since Lindroth (1968: 899).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from New Brunswick (Lindroth 1968: 899) to eastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 32), north to southeastern Manitoba (Lindroth 1968: 899), south to “Texas” (Fall 1905: 172), Tennessee (Sevier County, CNC), and northeastern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 53).
