Note.

Ball (1973: 74) proposed Harpalus cunctipeps to replace Harpalus puncticeps (Casey, 1914), a junior secondary homonym of Harpalus puncticeps (Stephens, 1828), both species being then placed in the genus Harpalus . Since Stephens’ 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).
