Clivina fossor fossor (Linnaeus, 1758)

Tenebrio fossor Linnaeus, 1758: 417. Type locality: "Upsalia [= Uppsala, Sweden]" (original citation). One possible syntype in LSL (Lindroth 1957b: 338).

Distribution.

This Palaearctic subspecies is adventive in North America where it is found in the east from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 45) to northern Minnesota (Petrice et al. 2002: 9), south to northern Pennsylvania (Bradford County, CMNH) and in the west from southwestern British Columbia (Bousquet 1987a: 119) to south-central Saskatchewan (Ronald R. Hooper pers. comm. 2002), south to northwestern Wyoming (Teton County, Foster F. Purrington pers. comm. 2010) and southern Oregon (Nelson and Reynolds 1987: 12). The first inventoried specimen collected in the east was found in 1915 in the Montreal region (Lindroth 1961a: 161) and in the west in 1937 in western Washington (Hatch 1949b: 118). The records from Georgia (Fattig 1949: 14) and Alabama ( Löding 1945: 12) are probably in error; those from “Ohio” (Hamilton 1889b: 93), “Illinois,” “Indiana,” and “Idaho” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 102) need confirmation.
