Harpalus (Ophonus) hirsutulus Dejean, 1829: 226 View in CoL .

The specimen here designated as lectotype is a female bearing the labels: “female symbol”, “ hirsutulus Stév. in Rus. mer. Caucase”, “Steven.” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) hirsutulus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ” .

Dejean (1829) described this species based on four specimens: Je possède quatre individus de cette espèce: le premier m’a été envoyé par M. Stéven, comme venant du Caucase... . The first mentioned is hereby designed as the lectotype.

The species is currently named as Parophonus (Ophonomimus) hirsutulus ( Dejean, 1829) . Schauberger (1923: 72) created the subgenus Ophonomimus to include only this species according to the lack of pubescence in the paraglossa, mentum without median tooth, pronotum not emarginate posteriorly, etc. Then, Schauberger (1933) considered P. interstitialis Reitter, 1899 as a valid species and also included it within Ophonomimus .

Keys to identify the species are found in Jeannel (1942), Sciaky (1992) and Wrase (2004, 2011).

The species is distributed in Central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Central Asia and Uzbekistan ( Kataev & Wrase, 2017c).
