Plectralidus Casey, 1914: 72. Type species: Harpalus erraticus Say, 1823 designated by El-Moursy (1959: 37). Etymology. From the Greek plectron (spur), probably alluding to the dentiform process on the elytral edge delimiting laterally the subapical sinuation ("external dentition of the elytral apices") [masculine].
Diversity.
Two North American species.
Identification.
El-Moursy (1959) and Noonan (1991: 131-135) revised the species. Both species were also treated by Lindroth (1968: 766-767).
