Distribution.

This subspecies, also known as the "Crimson Saltflat Tiger Beetle", ranges from Minnesota to southern Alberta (Hilchie 1985: 330), south to northeastern Arizona and northern Texas [see Pearson et al. 1997: Map 11]. The record from “Saskatchewan” (Freitag 1999: 27) needs confirmation.

Note.

Pearson et al. (2006: 99), followed by Erwin and Pearson (2008: 138), considered Cicindela fulgida williamlarsi Knudsen and Cicindela fulgida winonae Knudsen as synonyms of Cicindela fulgida pseudowillistoni Horn. They also listed Cicindela fulgida rumppi Knudsen as a valid subspecies restricted to the Laguna del Perro area in Torrance County, central New Mexico.
