Harpalus (Ophonus) incisus Dejean, 1829: 201 .

The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing the labels: “ incisus m. in Hispania” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) incisus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ” .

Based on the original description, I have selected a beetle from Spain as lectotype: Il se trouve en Espagne, en Italie.. This species was treated as a member of the subgenus Incisophonus Sciaky, 1987 characterized by male protarsomeres notably dilated, aedeagus “aberrant” notably curved to right, elytra notably emarginate apically, etc. (Sciaky, 1987). Additionally, the species is easily identified by a large body size and a cordiform pronotum. Keys to identify it are found in Jeannel (1942), Antoine (1959), Sciaky (1987), etc.

It is distributed in Mediterranean Europe, Turkey and Morocco (Kataev & Wrase, 2017c).
