Type locality: "Long Island [New York]" (original citation). One possible syntype, labeled "[pink disc] / P. substriatus Lec. [handwritten] / sublaevis 15 [handwritten]," in MCZ (collection LeConte). Synonymy established by LeConte (1874a: 268). Pasimachus assimilisLeConte, 1846a: 148. Type locality: "Georgia"(original citation). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 5457]. Synonymy established by LeConte (1853c: 395). Pasimachus rugosusLeConte, 1846a: 149. Type locality: "Nova Caesarea" [= New Jersey] (original citation). Syntype(s) in MCZ [# 5456]. Synonymy established by LeConte (1853c: 395). Pasimachus brevitarsisCasey, 1913: 76. Type locality: "Pass Christian [Harrison County], Mississippi" (original citation). Two syntypes [2 originally cited] in USNM [# 46875]. Synonymy established with doubt by Baenninger(1950: 509). Pasimachus oblongusCasey, 1913: 77. Type locality: "Southern Pines [Moore County], North Carolina" (original citation). Four syntypes [4 originally cited] in USNM [# 46876]. Synonymy established with doubt, under the name Pasimachus substriatusHaldeman, by Baenninger(1950: 509).
Distribution. The range of this species extends from Massachusetts (Miliotis 1974: 114) to central Iowa (Purrington and Drake 2005: 256), south to southeastern Mississippi (Casey 1913: 76, as Pasimachus brevitarsis) and southern Florida including the Keys (Nichols 1988b: Fig. 5-4; Peck and Thomas 1998: 17). The records from South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 15, as Scarites substriatus), "Kansas"(Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 96), and southeastern Louisiana (Summers 1874a: 79) need confirmation.

Note. Baenninger(1950: 510) retained Pasimachus substriatusHaldeman as a questionable subspecies of Pasimachus sublaevis. Nichols (1988a: 224-225) treated it as a junior synonym of Pasimachus sublaevis.
