Calosoma luxatum Say, 1823
Calosoma luxata
Say, 1823b: 149. Type locality: "Douglas Spring, Routt Co[unty], Colo[rado]" (neotype label). Neotype (♂), designated by Lindroth and Freitag (1969: 331), in MCZ [# 33087]. Note. "Arkansa [probably the Arkansas River since Say added "found near the Rocky mountains
"]"
was the area originally cited by Say (1823b: 150).
Carabus zimmermani
LeConte, 1847: 445. Type locality: "Rocky Mountains" (original citation). Holotype [by monotypy] in MCZ [# 638]. Synonymy established by Jeannel (1940: 175). Etymology. The species name honors Christian Zimmermann [1800-1867], an accomplished entomologist. Born in Germany, Zimmermann immigrated to the United States at the age of 31 and eventually settled in South Carolina where he divided his time between collecting trips along the East Coast and working on his collection at home. His collection was bought by Dr. Lewis of Philadelphia and from him by George Robert Crotch who sold it to the MCZ. According to Hagen (1889: 57), "a great part [of
Zimmermann's
specimens] is in
Leconte's
collection, and can be recognized at once by the number on the pins in
Zimmermann's
hand-writing."

Distribution.
This species ranges from southern Saskatchewan to the Okanagan Valley in south-central British Columbia (Lindroth 1961a: 56), south to southeastern California, northwestern New Mexico (Casey, 1913: 75, as
Callisthenes diffractus
), and northern Kansas [see Gidaspow 1959: Fig. 11, as
Callisthenes luxatus
,
Callisthenes pimelioides
, and
Callisthenes zimmermanni
]. At least one specimen simply labeled from New Mexico is known (Gidaspow 1959: 311). The records from
"Oklahoma"
and
"Texas"
(Burgess and Collins 1917: 121, as
Callisthenes zimmermani
) need confirmation.

Note.
Gidaspow (1959) considered
Callisthenes pimeloides
Walker [synonyms:
tegulatus
Casey,
viator
Casey,
pustulosus
Casey,
reflexus
Casey, and
parowanus
Casey] and
Carabus zimmermanni
LeConte [synonyms:
opacus
Gehin
,
exaratus
Casey,
debilis
Casey, and
tahoensis
Van Dyke] as distinct species but Lindroth (1961a: 55) argued that the structural differences noted between these forms are no more than intraspecific variation.
