Introduced from Europe (in Eurasia east to west Siberia), A. aenea is widely distributed in the eastern half of North America, but west of the 100 ° meridian is reported only from AZ, CA, CO, ID, OR and WA (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993). There appears to be a gap in the distribution in the prairies, with no records previously in western Canada. Amara aenea is one of the species regarded by Lindroth (1957) as probably having been unintentionally introduced into eastern North America in ballast­traffic. Since there is a gap in the range in North America, a separate accidental introduction on the west coast is suggested. This may also have been in ballast, but compared to the introduction on the Atlantic coast, this may have been a later arrival, related to the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 (Lindroth 1957; Scudder 1958). Amara aenea is a markedly xerophilous and heliophilous species found on dry, open grassland, usually on sandy soil (Lindroth 1992). It is often found on lawns in parks and gardens (Lindroth 1968). Adults are omnivorous, while larvae are mainly carnivorous (Lindroth 1992). Its wings are fully developed, with several flight observations from Europe. This species is a spring breeder that hibernates in the adult stage.	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E. (2001): Carabidae (Coleoptera) New To British Columbia, With One Species New To Canada.

Introduced from Europe, A. anthobia has a markedly disjunct distribution in North America, with limited occurrence on the Atlantic Coast in MD and VA, and wide distribution on the Pacific Coast in CA, OR and WA (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993). Separate Atlantic coast and Pacific coast introductions are indicated, but this may not have been associated with ballast­transport, as A. anthobia evidently is not a permanent inhabitant of the British Isles (Lindroth 1957), and has been reported in the west in greenhouses (Hatch 1949). However, the records from BC were not associated with greenhouses, although the Hope and Wellington localities were within town boundaries. The Midday Valley specimen on the other hand appears to have been collected during sampling of insects associated with Pinus ponderosa dominated forest habitats. How it reached here some 20 years before the previous recorded occurrence on the coast is unknown. In northern continental Europe, A. anthobia occurs in open country, usually on sandy, sparsely vegetated, often cultivated soil, and in woodland (Lindroth 1986).	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E.

03A387CBFFDC5F2BE81BFBA35F00FA4D.taxon	description	Holarctic in distribution, A. brunnea is known in North America from AK and YT (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993). Less xerophilous than most species of Amara, it lives in more or less shady habitats, usually on gravelly soil (Lindroth 1986). At White R., in the Yukon, it has been found to occur on fine sand, partially shaded by alder bushes, among dead leaves (Lindroth 1968). In Europe, this species hibernates as an adult (Lindroth 1945). Its wings are fully developed, but flight observations have not been reported (Lindroth 1992).	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E.

Widely distributed in the eastern half of North America, but west of the 100 ° meridian, previously known only from CO and SK (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993). Amara impuncticollis is associated with A. littoralis, occurring in open, moderately dry country with rich vegetation, usually of pronounced weedy character (Lindroth 1968). This species hibernates in its adult form.	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E. (2001): Carabidae (Coleoptera) New To British Columbia, With One Species New To Canada.

It inhabits high boreal coniferous regions, and is usually found living in moderately dry, open country, on clay­mixed gravelly soil with grass and weeds (Lindroth 1986). It is also found among ‘ weeds’ in farms and gardens in the vicinity of human dwellings (Lindroth 1992). This species breeds in the spring, and hibernates as an adult (Lindroth 1968).

The wings can be either full, or reduced into a rudiment, shorter and narrower than one elytron, and without reflexed apex (Lindroth 1963).	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E.

The disjunct occurrence in British Columbia may be the result of one or more separate western accidental introductions, with both coastal and inland localities being represented. Bembidion lacunarium has been found among damp moss and leaves in shady places, independent of open water (Darlington 1936).

The BC record seems to be the first west of the Rocky Mountains. Along with B. lampros, it is one of the least humidity loving species of Bembidion (Lindroth 1992). It has been frequently found on dry barren banks of fresh water, and also in open, preferably cultivated fields, quite independent of water (Lindroth 1992). It occurs on slightly moist, clay or clay­mixed sandy soil with sparse vegetation, allowing complete exposure to the sun (Lindroth 1986). This species breeds in spring, and hibernates as an adult (Lindroth 1992). Its wings are fully developed (Lindroth 1992).	en	Jarrett, J. R., Scudder, G. G E.
