Type locality: "Shingle Springs, Eldorado County, California" (original citation). Two syntypes probably in ZMUA (collection Vogt) though not listed by Boer (2002). Brennus oreophilus hoppingi Roeschke, 1907a: 183. Type locality: "Suedlicher Arm des King River (4500-5500'), Fresno Co[unty] [California]" (original citation). Five syntypes in ZMUA (Boer 2002: 56). Synonymy established by Gidaspow (1968: 164). Etymology. The specific name was proposed for Ralph Hopping [1868-1941], forest entomologist in California and later in Vernon, British Columbia. Hopping built up a large collection of western beetles which was sold by his widow to the California Academy of Sciences in 1948. Brennus oreophilus humeralis Casey, 1914: 30. Type locality: "Mokelumne Hill, Calaveras Co[unty], California" (original citation). One syntype in USNM [# 46039]. Synonymy established by Gidaspow (1968: 164). Distribution.

The record from "Nevada" (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 84) needs confirmation. Records. USA : CA, UT [NV]
