Harpactus Shuckard, 1837 (an unjustified emendation of the preoccupied name Arpactus Jurine, 1807) is an available name and must be restored as the valid name for the genus now called Dienoplus Fox, 1894. The latter name has been incorrectly interpreted as valid by Pate (1937), de Beaumont(1954a)and all subsequent authors.
