Harpalus montezumae Csiki, 1932a: 1183. Replacement name for Harpalus mexicanus Chaudoir, 1837.

Distribution.

This species is known only from “Arizona” (Erwin et al. 1977: 4.48) and “Mexico” (Bates 1882a: 57). The record from "near Philadelphia," Pennsylvania (Casey 1914: 82) is likely in error.

Note.

Ball and Anderson (1962: 45) listed Harpalus liobasis Chaudoir as a junior synonym of Harpalus pensylvanicus but Lindroth (1968: 761) treated it as a distinct species.
