Poecilus cursitor LeConte, 1853
Poecilus cursorius LeConte, 1851: 181 [secondary homonym of Poecilus cursorius (Dejean, 1828)]. Type locality: "S[an]ta Isabel [San Bernardino County, California]" (lectotype label). Lectotype (♂), designated by Bousquet (1999: 61), in MCZ [# 78]. Note. LeConte (1851: 181) originally cited this species from "San Diego, ad montes" but later (1853a: 255) listed it from "Santa Isabel, California". Because the lectotype label indicates that the specimen was collected at Santa Isabel, this is the type locality. Santa Isabel is a Mohave settlement near Needles in San Bernardino County along the Colorado River.
Poecilus cursitor LeConte, 1853a: 254. Replacement name for Poecilus cursorius LeConte, 1851.
Distribution.
This species is known from western Oregon (Hatch 1953: 115, as Pterostichus occidentalis ) to southern California (Fall 1901a: 45, as Pterostichus occidentalis ).

Note.
This species has been known for a long time under the name Poecilus occidentalis (Dejean, 1828) but Lindroth (1966: 484) showed that Poecilus cursitor and Poecilus occidentalis are different species.
