Treatment

Tachys vorax LeConte, 1852a: 194. Type locality: "ad fluminis Gilae et Colorado ripas" (original citation), restricted to "Gila River, Arizona" by Erwin (1974a: 143). Lectotype (♀), designated by Erwin (1974a: 143), in MCZ [# 5569].

Distribution.

This species is found from southeastern Texas (Wickham 1897: 104) to southwestern California (Fall 1901a: 43; Moore 1937: 8) and the Baja California Peninsula (Horn 1894: 308), north to southwestern Utah (Tanner 1928: 270). The records from the Bahamas (Darlington 1953: 6), Cuba (Darlington 1934: 82; Mateu 1977: 378), Jamaica (Darlington 1941a: 11), and Puerto Rico (Wolcott 1936: 188) need confirmation; that from eastern Washington (Hatch 1953: 105) is probably in error; that from “Colorado” (LeConte 1858a: 28) probably refers to the Colorado River.
