The terrestrial Adephaga of Iowa by Fanny Chastina Thompson Wickham, 1895, Page 39

margin rounded, each elytron with a marginal, anteapical, apical and sometimes discal dot.
The markings vary considerably, sometimes they are entirely wanting and again there are but two, the marginal and the apical dots, or the marginal only are present.
   Length 10-14 mm.
   Lives in shady roads or clear woods and often hides under stones and loose bark. It is double brooded; the first brood appearing during May, the second in August. The colour of the first brood is a rich purplish brown, that of the second tinged with green, some specimens being quite green. Its season is quite short, lasting between two and three weeks. It is very sensitive to the weather, not being seen when the weather is bad.
Habitat. Iowa City. (Wickham) Common.
