Type locality: North America (inferred from title of the paper), restricted to "New York" by Erwin (1970a: 123), herein to Oswego, Oswego County (see Erwin 1970a: 125). Syntype location unknown. Note. LeConte (1846b: 199) subsequently stated that he had but a single specimen of this species. The specimen selected as lectotype by Erwin (1970a: 123) is probably not the syntype (see "Note"under  Brachinus similis).  Brachinus ballistariusLeConte, 1846b: 199. Type locality: "NovEboraci [= New York]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy; designated lectotype by Erwin (1970a: 123)] (♂) in MCZ [# 5846]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1969a: 1103) based on Erwin's(1969c) thesis.  Brachinus similisLeConte, 1846b: 199. Type locality: "NovEboraci [= New York]" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Erwin (1970a: 123), in MCZ [# 5849]. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1969a: 1103) based on Erwin's(1969c) thesis. Note. Erwin (1970a: 123) selected the same specimen as lectotype for both  Brachinus tenuicollisLeConte and  Brachinus similisLeConte. Based on the labels attached to the specimen, the lectotype is likely a syntype of  Brachinus similisand consequently not of  Brachinus tenuicollis.  Distribution. This species ranges from southern Quebec to southeastern Wyoming (Lavigne 1977: 44), south to southwestern Texas and northern Florida [see Erwin 1970a: Fig. 329].  Records.  CAN: ON, QC USA: AR, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, VT, WI, WY
