Distribution.

This Palaearctic species is adventive in North America where it is known from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 100-101) and southern Labrador (Lindroth 1954d: 368) to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska (Derek S. Sikes pers. comm. 2008), south to northern California (Trinity and Lassen Counties, CAS), west-central Nevada (Bechtel et al. 1983: 474), southern Colorado (Huerfano and Pueblo Counties, CMNH), Kansas (Trego County, CNC), and Virginia (Hoffman et al. 2006: 23; Clarke County, USNM). The first inventoried specimen collected on this continent was found in Quebec prior to 1865 (Couper 1865: 60, as Amara pygmea ). Several records (e.g., AL, AR, GA, NT, SC, YT) listed in Bousquet and Larochelle (1993: 192) are in error or need confirmation.
