The specific name was proposed in honor of Thomas Utting Spalding [1866-1929]. Born in England, Spalding came to America and headed west in search of gold. He eventually settled in Utah and became an excellent collector of Lepidopteraand Coleopterawhich he sold to students in the east. In 1918 alone, his Lepidopterasales amounted to $1,150 (Tanner 1929b: 344). At that time he started selling beetles to Thomas Casey who bought in all 820 specimens from him.  Distribution. This subspecies, the "Echo Tiger Beetle", is found mainly within the Great Basin from Wyoming to southern Oregon, south to east-central California, southern Nevada, and southern Utah (Pearson et al. 2006: 114).  Records.  USA: CA, ID, NV, OR, UT, WY
