Type locality: "New Mexico" (original citation), herein restricted to Albuquerque, Bernalillo County (see Noonan 1991: 99). Lectotype (♀), designated by Noonan (1991: 95), in MCZ [# 5913]. Harpalus tadorcus Ball, 1972: 185. Replacement name for Harpalus cordatus (LeConte, 1853). Distribution. This species is restricted to arid grasslands in eastern Arizona, southern Colorado, and New Mexico [see Noonan 1991: Fig. 276]. Records. USA : AZ, CO, NM Note. Ball (1972: 185) proposed Harpalus tadorcus to replace Harpalus cordatus (LeConte, 1853), a junior secondary homonym of Harpalus cordatus (Duftschmid, 1812), both species being then placed in the genus Harpalus . Since Duftschmid's species is currently included in the genus Ophonus and the replacement name was proposed after 1960, the original species-group name is to be reinstated (ICZN 1999: Article 59.4).
