Treatment

Harpalus melanopus Haldeman, 1843b: 302. Type locality: southeastern Pennsylvania (Haldeman 1843a: 297). Neotype (♂), designated by Noonan (1996: 48), in MCZ.

Distribution.

This species ranges from Massachusetts to southeastern Minnesota (Gandhi et al. 2005: 930), south to southern Missouri, “Mississippi” (Drew A. Hildebrandt pers. comm. 2007), and central South Carolina (Ciegler 2000: 90) [see Noonan 1996: Fig. 237]. There are two specimens from more western sites: one from western Nebraska, the other one from Utah. Whether these specimens are strays or represent elements of permanent populations remain to be seen. The record from South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 31) needs confirmation.
