New and little-known species of ground beetles of the genus Harpalus from Palaearctic Asia (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
B.M. Kataev
Abstract. Harpalus kozlovi sp. n. from China (Nanchan Mts), H. tangutorum sp. n. from China (E. Qinghai, S. Gansu, N. Sichuan), H. kunarensis sp. n. from Afghanistan (Kunar Prov.) are described. New synonymies, H. kandaharensis Jedl. = H. lutshnikianus Kataev and H. pulvinatus Mén. = H. sublaevigatus Tschit., are established. H. kazanensis Jedl. is restored as a good species (not synonym of H. brachypterus Tschit.). H. lubricus Reitt. is downgraded to subspecies of H. pulvinatus Mén. A new replacement name H. reflexus anadoluensis nom. n. is given to H. r. ciliciensis Mlynář.
