Amara tarsalis Casey, 1918: 295. Type locality: "San Diego [San Diego County], California" (original citation). Seven syntypes in USNM [# 47276]. Synonymy established implicitly by Lindroth (1968: 692).

Distribution.

This species is found along the Pacific Coast from central California (Lindroth 1968: 692) south to Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja California (Casey 1918: 295, as Amara guadalupensis ). The record from "Oregon [Territory]" (LeConte 1857c: 9) is probably in error.
