Type locality: "Methy [Portage] [= Portage La Loche, northern Saskatchewan]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] (♂) in MCZ [# 653]. Note. In the original description, LeConte indicated that he received "one specimen" from "Mr. Kennicott" collected at "Methy."Lindroth (1961a: 59) placed the type locality in eastern Alberta. However, I was unable to find any such locality in Alberta, although there is a locality named "Metis"in northwestern Alberta. In the same paper, LeConte (1863c: 1) described his  Cicindela hyperboreafrom specimen(s) received from "Mr. R. Kennicott" collected at "Methy Portage, Hudson'sBay Territory." I believe LeConte meant "Methy Portage" as the collection site for  Pelophila rudis. Located in northern Saskatchewan, Methy(e) Portage is currently called Portage La Loche.  Distribution. This species is known from scattered localities from western Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 39) to the Fairbanks area in Alaska (David H. Kavanaugh pers. comm. 2009), south to central British Columbia (Lindroth 1961a: 59) [see Lindroth 1963a: Fig. 65]. Fossil remnants, dated between 14,000 and 15,500 years B.P., have been unearthed in central Iowa (Schwert 1992: 76).  Records.  CAN: AB, BC, MB, NF, NT, ON, SK, YT USA: AK
