Distribution.

This western species occurs from northwestern British Columbia to southwestern Saskatchewan, south to north-central New Mexico and northern Arizona in the Rocky Mountains and to northern Oregon along the coast [see Noonan 1991: Fig. 267]. The record from south-central South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 29, as Harpalus montuosus ) needs confirmation.
