Type locality: "Reindeer Depot, N[orth] W[est] Terr[itories]" (original citation). Holotype (♂) in CNC [# 10509]. Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Williamson James Brown [1902-1977], one of Canada's leading coleopterist of his time. Brown worked at Agriculture Canada on the systematics of several families with a special interest on scarabaeids, elaterids, and chrysomelids. He was also interested by the adventive species in Canada, the problem of sibling species, and the arctic beetles. Distribution. This species is known from a few localities in Yukon Territory and the Anderson River delta in northern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1968: 687). Records. CAN : NT, YT
