Distribution.

This species ranges from Newfoundland (Lindroth 1955a: 127) to western British Columbia (Lindroth 1966: 576), north to southern Northwest Territories (CNC), south to “Montana” (Casey 1920: 129, as Europhilus collusor ), South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 25), central West Virginia (Pocahontas County, CMNH), and northern Virginia (Madison and Rappahannock Counties, CNC). The record from New Mexico (type locality of Agonum dilutipenne Motschulsky) is probably in error; those from “Illinois” and “Indiana” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 254) need confirmation.
