Diagnosis. The most distinctive characters are: clypeus with one seta on each side anteriorly; pronotum with one lateral seta on each side and with basal angles blunt at apex; pronotal disc in central portion impunctate; elytra densely punctate and pubescent on all intervals, without row of discal pores on intervals 1, 3, 5 and 7; and legs reddish brown or brownish yellow. In addition, labial basal palpomere is not carinate, and median lobe of aedeagus ( Figs 15–16 View FIGURES 15 – 18 ) lacks any distinct sclerotized elements in the internal sac. Body length 8.3–12.5 mm.

Distribution. China: the north-western and eastern parts. It was reported from Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Gansu, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hubei, Zhejiang, Yunnan ( Kataev et al. 2003), Hebei (Schauberger 1938), Nei Mongol, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, and Xizang ( Hua 2002). We provided here the additional examined material from Xinjiang, Hebei, Sichuan and Guizhou.

General distribution includes the Palaearctic from North-Western Africa, Azores and Portugal to Sakhalin, southern Kurils, Japan, Korea including Jejudo, and northern Vietnam ( Kataev 1997; Kataev et al. 2003; Moon & Paik 2006).

Remarks. Harpalus xinjiangensis was described on the basis of six specimens from Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. According to the original description ( Huang et al. 1994), this species is similar to H. griseus , but can be distinguished by its frons "with a shallow foveae and punctures", and metafemur "with 10–14 setae in two rows at hind margin". We could not study the type material, however the examination of the specimens of Pseudoophonus from Xinjiang and the specimens from Guizhou, determined as H. xinjiangensis by Huang Tongling, revealed that this description is based on members of H. griseus which is rather variable in number of setae along posterior margin of metafemur (three to five long setae and usually numerous additional short setae); head also has often very fine punctures on frons. Thus we treat H. xinjiangensis as a junior synonym of H. griseus .
