Brachinus rugipennis Chaudoir, 1868

Brachinus rugipennis Chaudoir, 1868b: 297. Type locality: Amérique septentrionale (inferred from title of the paper), restricted to «Texas» by Erwin (1970a: 91), herein to Elkhart, Anderson County (see Erwin 1970a: 92). Holotype [by monotypy; designated lectotype by Erwin (1970a: 91)] (♀) in MHNP.

Distribution.

This species ranges from Massachusetts to western Wyoming and western Colorado, south to central New Mexico, southeastern Texas, southeastern Mississippi (George County, Drew A. Hildebrandt pers. comm. 2008), and the Florida Keys [see Erwin 1970a: Fig. 200]. The populations in the northeast are isolated from the remaining ones but this is probably the result of inadequate collecting.
