B.M. Kataev & I.I. Kabak

Abstract. New data about distribution of 21 species and subspecies of ground-beetles of the tribe Harpalini in Kazakhstan and the Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region of China are provided. The following taxa are reported from Kazakhstan for the first time: Dicheirotrichus (s. str.) lacustris (Redtenbacher, 1858), Dicheirotrichus (Trichocellus) tschitscherini (Reitter, 1899), Dicheirotrichus (T.) hauseri (Reitter, 1894), Bradycellus (Tachycellus) glabratus Reitter, 1894, Acupalpus (Ancylostria) interstitialis Reitter, 1884, Harpalus (Semiophonus) signaticornis (Duftschmid, 1812), Harpalus (s. str.) torridoides Reitter, 1900, Harpalus (s. str.) viridanus viridanus Motschulsky, 1844, and Ophonus (Hesperophonus) convexicollis (Ménétriés, 1832). The following taxa are reported from China (Xinjiang) for the first time: Anisodactylus (s. str.) binotatus (Fabricius, 1787), Stenolophus (s. str.) abdominalis persicus Mannerheim, 1844, Stenolophus (s. str.) discophorus Fischer von Waldheim, 1823, Harpalus (s. str.) vittatus vittatus Gebler, 1833, Harpalus (s. str.) cyclogonus cyclogonus Chaudoir, 1844, and Ophonus (Metophonus) hystrix dissors Tschitschérine, 1895. Three species, Harpalus (s. str.) amariformis Motschulsky, 1844, H. (s. str.) affinis (Schrank, 1781) and H. (s. str.) tarsalis Mannerheim, 1825, are reported from Xinjiang for the first time. The following synonymy is proposed: Stenolophus (Egadroma) marginatus Dejean, 1829 = Badister piceus Ballion, 1870, syn. nov.
