Discussion. This species was reported from Arizona in Linsley (1963), but no specific locality records were published until this study was undertaken. The following records of material examined further document its distribution in the southwestern United States. Anoplium pinorum Casey, 1914 , treated as a subspecies of Anelaphus moestus by Linsley (1963), is here considered a synonym of Anelaphus moestus since the size, color, and punctation characters identified by Casey are concluded to be individual variation. Also, the wide distribution of the nominotypical form which encompasses the type locality of Anoplium pinorum (Southern Pines, North Carolina) contradicts the expectation of allopatry for subspecies.
