Distribution.

This western species occurs from central Alaska south to southern California, southeastern Arizona, and south-central Colorado, east to western Nebraska [see Noonan 1991: Fig. 286]. The records from northeastern Kansas (Popenoe 1877: 24) and Beaver Island in Michigan (Hatch 1925: 554) are probably in error. According to Noonan (1991: 143), this species is one of the most abundant Harpalus along the west coast.
