Type locality: "Mexique" (original citation), herein restricted to Merida, Yucatan (see Gidaspow 1959: 248). Lectotype (♀), designated by Deuve (1978: 248), in MHNP. Note. This name is often (e.g., Gidaspow 1963: 283; Erwin 1991a: 24) cited as if it had been proposed by Chaudoir (1850a: 420) as a replacement for Calosoma splendidum Perbosc, 1839 (nec Dejean 1831). However, Perbosc (1839: 261) attributed his Calosoma splendidum to Dejean and so did not propose a new species. Distribution. This species is found from the Rio Grande in southeastern Texas (Wickham 1897: 102; Burgess and Collins 1917: 122) south to Nicaragua (Gidaspow 1963: 283) [see Gidaspow 1959: Fig. 2]. Records.
