Jaeger, B., 2011, New and additional distribution data of the genus Acupalpus LATREILLE 1829 from the Middle East and adjacent areas (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Harpalini, Stenolophina), Linzer biologische Beiträge 43 (1), pp. 763-775 : 772

Acupalpus (Acupalpus) parvulus (STURM 1825) / maculatus (SCHAUM 1960)

The following records from Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan are based on females. According to present knowledge a reliable identification of atypical female specimens of A. parvulus (STURM) or A. maculatus (SCHAUM) is impossible due to the overlapping great variability of both species in colour and various other external chacacters. Thus, males or typical specimens from the same localities are necessary to refer the records to one of the mentioned species.
