The record from southwestern Virginia (Horn 1869a: 123) is probably in error.  Records.  CAN: AB, MB, SK USA: AR, AZ, CO, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MI, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, NM, OH, OK, SD, TX, WI, WY - Mexico   Figure 16.  Pasimachus elongatusLeConte. Because of its large size and robust shape, this species is one of the most conspicuous carabid elements of the grassland regions of North America. It belongs to a genus which is endemic to North and Middle America. Although not firmly established, the sister taxon to  Pasimachuscould be  Mouhotia, a genus of massive and handsome species endemic to southeast Asia.
