Harpalus. After the separation of Ophonus, Pseudoplimius, Platus, and 
Burytrichus from the old genus Harpalus, Motschulsky (1. c. pp. 208, 209) 
proposes to divide the remainder into the following genera : — 
I. Thorax with posterior angles rounded. 
A. Elytra elongate, parallel, usually metallic Erpeinus (Motsbh.) , 
(phtusus, Gebl. &c.). 
B. Elytra short, oval, black, or brown ............ Actephilus (Meg.) 
{Jlavitarsis, vernalis, &c.). 
II. Thorax with posterior angles square, acute, or but slightly obtuse. 
A. Thorax nearly square, a little narrower than the elytra. 
* Elytra parallel Harpalus (Latr.) 
{census). 
* Elytra more or less oval . . . AmUystUs (Motsch. 
{ruhripes). 
B. 1"horax nearly square, perceptibly narrower than the elytra.
