Type locality: "Sitcha [= Sitka, Baranof Island, Alaska]" (original citation). Lectotype (♂), designated by Kavanaugh (1979a: 115), in ZMH. Etymology. The specific name honors the Finnish naturalist Carl Reinhold Sahlberg [1779-1860] who worked mainly on beetles. Sahlberg was professor of economic and natural history at the Academy of Aboand, after the destruction of the city and university by fire, at the University of Helsinki.  Nebria violaceaMotschulsky, 1850a: 73. Type locality: "Sitka [Baranof Island, Alaska]" (original citation for  Nebria sahlbergiivar. in Mannerheim, 1843). Lectotype (♂), designated by Kavanaugh (1979a: 115), in ZMH. Synonymy established by Lindroth (1961a: 68). Note.  Nebria violaceawas proposed for Mannerheim's(1843: 189) var. b of  Nebria sahlbergiiFischer von Waldheim; therefore the description is by indication. The lectotype designated by Kavanaugh (1979a: 115) is the same specimen he designated as lectotype of  Nebria sahlbergiiFischer von Waldheim, 1828.  Nebria aleutaVan Dyke, 1924a: 5. Type locality: "Mount Makushin, Unalaska Island, Alaska" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in CAS [# 3342].

Kavanaugh pers. comm. 2008), south to northwestern Montana (Edwards 1975: 50) and southern Oregon[see Kavanaugh 1988: Fig. 20]. The records from New Mexico (Snow 1885: 66; Fall and Cockerell 1907: 156), Colorado (Wickham 1902: 232; Armin 1963: 94), and Wyoming (Lavigne 1977: 46) are probably in error.  Records.  CAN: AB, BC (QCI, VCI), NT, YT USA: AK, MT, OR, WA  Note. This species is placed in the lyelligroup by Ledoux and Roux (2005: 195).
