Feronia empetricolaDejean, 1828: 331. Type locality: "ile d'Ounalaschka, l'unedes ilesAleutiennes [Alaska]" (original citation for the lectotype). Lectotype (♀), designated by Ball (1966a: 122), in MHNP. Cryobius ruficollisMannerheim, 1853: 131. Type locality: "insula Afognak [Alaska]" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy; designated lectotype by Ball (1966a: 122)] (♀) in MHNP. Synonymy established by Poppius (1906b: 65), confirmed by Ball (1966a: 122). CryobiusrotundicollisMannerheim, 1853: 132 [secondary homonym of Pterostichus rotundicollis(Duftschmid, 1812)].

Distribution. This Holarctic species ranges from the Kuril and Commander Islands (Eremin 1998: 298) on the east coast of Asia to southern Yukon Territory, including Kodiak and Aleutian Islands, south to west-central British Columbia (Lemieux and Lindgren 2004: 562) [see Ball 1963: Fig. 3].
Records. CAN: BC, YT USA: AK - Holarctic
Note. Lindroth (1966: 524) stated that the taxonomic status of this taxon as a distinct species from Pterostichus brevicornisKirby is questionable. Ball (1966a: 123) evoked the fact that the taxon may be regarded as a "parthenogenetic race" of Pterostichus brevicornis. Both authors concluded that this taxon is parthenogenetic since, as far as known, no males have been found to date that could be associated with it. This is also the case for the Asian specimens studied by Eremin (1998).
