Galerita janus
is confirmed based on my microscopic examination of this male specimen which is deposited in the P.W. Messer collection as a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom for this last example from your interesting batch of 16 carabid specimens mailed to me this month.

This species is more common than G. bicolor in Wisconsin.
