Carabus 2vittatus Fabricius, 1798: 59. Type locality: «America» (original citation), restricted to "Galesburg [Knox County], Illin[ois]" by Lindroth (1969a: 1034). Syntype(s) apparently lost (Lindroth 1969a: 1034).

Lebia quadrivittata Dejean, 1825: 268. Type locality: «Amérique septentrionale" (original citation). One syntype in MHNP (Lindroth 1955b: 23). Synonymy established by LeConte (1863b: 5), confirmed by Lindroth (1955b: 23).

Dianchomena aemula Casey, 1920: 263. Type locality: «Kansas» (original citation). Two syntypes in USNM [# 47666]. Synonymy established by Madge (1967: 196).

Dianchomena devincta Casey, 1920: 264. Type locality: "Boulder Co[unty], Colorado" (original citation). One syntype in USNM [# 47667]. Synonymy established by Madge (1967: 196).

Distribution.

The range of this species extends from northern New Jersey to north-central Colorado, north to southeastern Michigan, south at least to southern Arizona, Guanajuato and the Federal District in Mexico (Bates 1883a: 241), and central Georgia [see Madge 1967: Fig. 124]. At least one old specimen simply labeled from Wisconsin is known (Madge 1967: Fig. 124). The record from “Massachusetts” (Leng and Beutenmüller 1893: 142) needs confirmation.
