Polyderis rufotestacea (Hayward, 1900)

Tachys rufotestaceus Hayward, 1900: 217. Type locality: "Pom[ona] [Los Angeles County], Cal[ifornia]" (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Erwin (1974a: 144), in MCZ [# 7052].

Distribution.

This species is known from central Idaho (Custer County, Ken Karns pers. comm. 2009), southeastern Oregon (Malheur County, James R. LaBonte pers. comm. 1992), California, from Lake County (CAS) to Riverside County (CAS) east to Mono and Inyo Counties (CAS; Dajoz 2007: 18), southern Arizona (Cochise and Maricopa Counties, CMNH; Hayward 1900: 217), southern Texas (Zapata County, CMNH; Casey 1918: 211), northwestern Arkansas (Newton County, Peter W. Messer pers. comm. 2008), and eastern South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 21; French et al. 2004: 557). The record from Aklavik in northern Northwest Territories (Lindroth 1966: 427) is quite obviously based on a mislabeled specimen.
