Distribution.

This species is transcontinental in the north ranging from Newfoundland to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska, south to southern California, central Arizona and New Mexico in the Rocky Mountains, Nebraska, and northern Virginia [see Noonan 1991: Figs 297-309]. The records from central Alabama (see Noonan 1991: Figs 302 and 304), “Arkansas” (Bousquet and Larochelle 1993: 237) and southern Kansas (Snow 1903: 194, as Harpalus fallax ) need confirmation.

Note.

Noonan (1991: 196-207) recognized six morphs within this species, the pleuriticus, fallax, “dark,” uteanus, somnulentus, and carbonatus morphs, which Lindroth (1968) treated as distinct species, except for the “dark” one. Noonan went on to report numerous intergradation zones between all morphs.
