Distribution.

This Holarctic species is found in Kazakhstan, Siberia, Mongolia, Liaoning in China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan (Marggi et al. 2003: 255), and from mainland Alaska (Lindroth 1963b: 343) to Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 58-59), south to Connecticut (Litchfield County, William L. Krinsky pers. comm. 2008; Lindroth 1963b: 343), north-central Ohio (Lee 1994: 59), southeastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 18), and northern New Mexico (Casey 1918: 71, as Bembidion scopulinum bellulum ; Taos County, UASM) along the Rocky Mountains. The record from northeastern Georgia (Fattig 1949: 17) is probably in error; that from “Pennsylvania” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 138) needs confirmation.
