• Harpalus atrichatus

  Harpalus atrichatus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae, described by Hatch in 1949. As a member of the large genus Harpalus, it belongs to the family Carabidae, one of the most diverse beetle families. The species epithet 'atrichatus' suggests a lack of hair or setae, though this has not been explicitly documented in the available sources. Very little specific information about its biology, ecology, or distribution has been published.

• Harpalus cohni

  Harpalus cohni is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalalinae, described by George E. Ball in 1972. It belongs to the large genus Harpalus, one of the most diverse genera within the Carabidae family. The species is known from the United States, with distribution records indicating presence in North America. Like other members of Harpalus, it is likely a nocturnal or crepuscular predator, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented due to limited study.

• Harpalus fulvilabris

  Harpalus fulvilabris is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae, described by Carl Gustaf Mannerheim in 1853. It belongs to the genus Harpalus, one of the most diverse genera of Carabidae with over 400 described species. The species is classified within the newly described subgenus Meroharpalus, established with H. fulvilabris as its type species. This subgenus is part of a broader systematic reorganization of the genus Harpalus based on adult morphological characters.
