Harpalus deludens Casey, 1914: 80. Type locality: "Keokuk [Lee County], Iowa" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Ball and Anderson (1962: 77), in USNM [# 47763]. Synonymy established by Hatch (1932: 174), confirmed by Ball and Anderson (1962: 76).

Distribution.

This species is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains from Nova Scotia (Lindroth 1968: 764) to southern Manitoba, south to north-central Colorado, southern Oklahoma, and central Florida [see Ball and Anderson 1962: Fig. 39]. The record from south-central Montana (Hatch 1933a: 10) is probably in error.
