The head, as in H. congruus, is smooth, with a fine 

 oblique impressed line from the frontal fovea on each 

 side to the eye. The thorax is relatively longer and 

 moderately narrowed and sinuated behind, and the hind 

 angles strongly acute.

Motschulsky (Bull. Mosc, 1863, iv., p. 214) says this 

 species is his H. (Pheuginus) corporosus. This must 

 either be a mistake or Motschulsky has given a false 

 description of his H. corporosus, for he says of the 

 elytra, " subtiliter crenato- vel cancellato-punctatis," 

 which does not apply to H. cliscrepans, but suits very 

 well the following species found in the same localities: —

A large robust species, varying in size from 11 mm. to 

 15 mm. Morawitz, who had only one example before 

 him (taken at Hakodate), mentions the crenated striae as 

 the only character distinguishing it from the European 

 H. zabro'ides. He might have added the punctured base 

 of the thorax, which is constant in all the numerous 

 examples I have seen. 



Harpalus cldorizans.
