Philophuga viridicollis (LeConte, 1846) View in CoL

Cymindis viridicollis LeConte, 1846b: 188. Type locality: «Long’s Peak [Boulder County, Colorado], Rocky Mountains" (original citation). Lectotype (♀), designated by Larson (1969: 31), in MCZ [# 5821].

Philopheuga subcordata Chaudoir, 1877: 246. Type locality: «Mexique» (original citation). Syntype(s) [2 originally cited] in MHNP. Synonymy established by Horn (1882: 161).

Distribution.

This species ranges from eastern Colorado and Kansas south to northeastern Mexico and southwestern Texas [see Larson 1969: Fig. 58]. The record from South Dakota (Kirk and Balsbaugh 1975: 38) needs confirmation. One specimen labeled from “Alabama” and two specimens from California seen by Larson (1969: 32) are probably mislabeled.
