Taxonomic Note.

Noonan (1976) arrayed the genera of this subtribe into the following genus-groups: Acinopi (no North American representatives), Amblystomi (no North American representatives), Bleusei (no North American representatives), Bradybaeni (no North American representatives), Dapti (including Cratacanthus ), Ditomi (no North American representatives), Harpali (including Euryderus , Harpalobrachys , Harpalus , Hartonymus , Ophonus , and Piosoma ), and Selenophori (including Amblygnathus , Athrostictus , Aztecarpalus , Discoderus , Selenophorus , Stenomorphus , and Trichotichnus ). Ball and Bousquet (2000: 91) followed Noonan’s classification with the exception that the Selenophori were divided into the Selenophori proper and the Trichotichni (including Aztecarpalus and Trichotichnus ).
