Hemicrepidius Germar, 1839 .

This genus was recently revised by FEE ( Etzler 2020b).“ Hemicrepidius sp. A ” in Seibert (1993) is Hemicrepidius brooksi Etzler ,“ Hemicrepidius sp.B ” is Hemicrepidius soccifer (LeConte) ,and “ Hemicrepidius sp.C ” is Hemicrepidius montanus Lane ( Seibert 1993) . Considerable confusion exists between H. montanus and Hemicrepidius morio (LeConte) , with previous state records of H. montanus most likely referring to H. morio and resulting from the misidentification by M. C. Lane of H.morio specimens at OSAC.Also, Hemicrepidius pallidipennis (Mannerheim) records from Seibert (1993) should be considered Hemicrepidius simplex (Fall) , a similar-looking species.
