OK list
The Oklahoma checklist also includes C. picta, but can't off hand tell you the difference.

Colliuris
Thanks as I was not aware of this OK Carabid Checklist. However, I could not confirm anywhere at OSU website that this is indeed a checklist limited to OK and not (unlikely) just an inventory of species holdings in their museum. Can you direct me to site where this fact is stated? By far C. pensylvanica is most likely in OK as rare C. picta was previously known only from AZ, TX (Bousquet, 1993). Two other species are known only from AZ. I would love to have a species key for Nearctic Colliuris as details now lie buried deep in old arcane literature. Colliuris, which some authorities are calling genus Cosnania, is badly in need of modern revision.

Seems correct
Yours appears to be the one out of 5 Colliuris species chosen for illustration in White's Beetles. You need a key to eliminate the other 4.
