. Small: body length 2.46.0 mm. Apterous. Body light brown to blackish brown, dorsum not iridescent and without metallic lustre. Head large, with wide neck. Antennae short or moderately long, with rather wide and short antennomeres, densely pubescent beginning from antennomere 3; pubescence comparatively long; antennomere 2 sparsely pubescent and pubescence mostly restricted to apical half of antennomere. Eyes slightly or moderately convex, separated from buccal fissure by distance. Supraorbital pore situated far from supraorbital furrow. Fronto-clypeal suture superficial or somewhat impressed. Frontal furrows distinct, deepened. Mentum without median tooth, fused with submentum at least laterally, with narrow epilobes. Ligular sclerite narrowed apically, with two ventral and two dorsal preapical setae. Paraglossae glabrous, narrow, much longer than ligular sclerite and separated from it by deep notch. Penultimate labial palpomere with two setae at anterior margin and with one preapical seta ventrally. Pronotal basal angles rounded or sharp. Elytra oval, moderately short or elongate, with comparatively short, occasionally indistinct parascutellar striole, and with or without one discal pore on interval 3. Elytral marginal umbilicate series consisting of six (5+1) setigerous pores in anterior group and of eight setigerous pores in posterior group; posterior group not divided in two separate subgroups. Parascutellar setigerous pore markedly removed from elytral basal border. Prosternum usually with several erect setae medially, rarely glabrous. Prosternal process without apical setae. Metepisterna short, at most as long as wide. Abdomen of male without basal setose fovea. Abdominal sternites (ventrites) largely glabrous, only with obligatory setae, but in many species one to three last visible sternites sparsely setose. Last visible (VII) sternite with a preapical marginal angular projection on each side, and with one or two pairs of marginal setae in male and with two pairs of such setae in female. Protarsomere 1 bilobed. Tarsomere 5 with or without a pair of latero-ventral setae. Pro- and mesotarsi in male moderately or only slightly dilated and with biseriately arranged adhesive scales ventrally, but in many species adhesive vestiture on mesotarsi more or less reduced. Median lobe of aedeagus with or without spines in internal sac.

from the Rwenzori Mountains considered in this paper seem to represent a monophyletic group because they differ from other examined species of this genus in the combination of the following characters: tarsomere 5 without lateroventral setae, last visible abdominal sternite in both sexes with two pairs of setae, and median lobe of aedeagus with shorter terminal lamella and without spines in internal sac. In addition, pronotum of the species inhabiting the Rwenzori Mountains is usually with sharper basal angles and with sides not rounded. Further research should show if this group warrants subgeneric status. Relationships of this group with congeners from other regions are still obscure and can be established only after the complete revision of the genus.

The species treated in this paper, like many other Harpalini, demonstrate rather high variability in many morphological characters and are difficult taxonomically. In most cases, for their delimitation the examination of both male and female genitalia is needed. The shapes of the female laterotergite and apical stylomere are usually as reliable distinctive characters for discrimination of most species as the structure of the median lobe of the aedeagus. The body size and shape of pronotum are also very useful for species identification.Although true interrelationships among species remain poorly understood, based on the combinations of the morphological characters, the species of
