English: Badister neopulchellus Lindroth. This nicely colored licinine was first recognized by Carl Lindroth when he realized that the Badister pulchellus of authors included two species, this one which is transcontinental and relatively commonly collected and Badister pulchellus, a much rarer species restricted to the eastern parts of the continent. With the advent of molecular tools, there is little doubt that several of our carabid species will eventually be showed to be complexes of species that cannot be separated with confidence based on morphology alone.
