Note. Drapiez (1820a: 188) names this species Ateuchus lafargi (instead of lafargei), even though he dedicates it to Mr. Lafarge (French name: “ Ateuchus de Lafarge ”). This issue is mentioned in neither of the publications we have consulted, but the present spelling is already used in Harold (1868a: 61).
