Subgenus Bradycellus Erichson, 1837

Bradycellus Erichson, 1837: 64. Type species: Carabus collaris Paykull, 1798 (= Acupalpus caucasicus Chaudoir, 1846) designated by Andrewes (1935: 20).

Tetraplatypus Tschitschérine, 1897: 62. Type species: Acupalpus similis Dejean, 1829 (= Trechus ruficollis Stephens, 1828) by monotypy. Synonymy established by Lin droth (1968: 883), accepted by Jaeger (2008: 1513-1514). Etymology. From the Greek tetra (four), platys (wide, broad) and pous (foot), possibly alluding to the expanded male mesotarsomeres (" ♂ ont les tarses intermédiaires faiblement dilatés ") [masculine].

Diversity.

About 45 species in the Nearctic (two species, one of them adventive), Neotropical (25 species), and Palaearctic (17 species) Regions.

Identification.

The two species found in North America have been covered by Lindroth (1968: 883-884, as harpalinus group).
