Reference data on the regional composition of Harpalinae (the second part) are provided as follows: 5 species of genus Acupalpus Latreille, 1829, 1 species of Anthracus Motschulsky, 1850, 2 species of Bradycellus Erichson, 1837, 6 species of Dicheirotrichus Jacquelin du Val, 1857, 7 species of Stenolophus Dejean, 1821 (tribe Harpalini – 21 species from 5 genus), 16 species of Cymindis Latreille, 1805, 3 species of Demetrias Bonelli, 1810, 6 species of Dromius Bonelli, 1810, 4 species of Microlestes Schmidt-Göbel, 1846, 3 species of Paradromius Fowler, 1887, 2 species of Philorhizus Hope, 1838, 5 species of Syntomus Hope, 1838, 7 species of Lebia Latreille, 1802, 1 species of Rhopalostyla Chaudoir, 1850 (tribe Lebiini – 47 species from 9 genus), 8 species of Badister Clairville, 1806, 2 species of Licinus Latreille, 1802 (tribe Licinini – 10 species from 2 genus), by 1 species of Masoreus Dejean, 1821 and Odacantha Paykull, 1798 (tribes Masoreini and Odacanthini), by 2 species of Oodes Bonelli, 1810 and Panagaeus Latreille, 1802 (tribes Oodini and Panagaeini), 22 species of Agonum Bonelli, 1810, by 1 species of Anchomenus Bonelli, 1810 and Oxypselaphus Chaudoir, 1843, 3 species of Limodromus Motschulsky, 1850, by 2 species of Olisthopus Dejean, 1828, Platynus Bonelli, 1810 and Sericoda Kirby, 1837 (tribe Platynini – 33 species from 7 genus). Thus, 117 species of 27 genera of ground beetles within 8 tribes indicated are found at the Urals. For both the Polar and Subpolar Urals (in the Komi Republic) 32 species of 15 genera are numbered. At the Northern Urals (in the Komi Republic, in the north-east of Perm Area and north-west of Sverdlovsk Province) 38 species of ground beetles of 17 genera are recorded. For the Middle Urals, 69 species of 25 genera are listed (including 60 species in Perm Area and 65 species in Sverdlovsk Province). From the Southern Urals, 108 species of ground beetles of 27 genera are known (67 species were found in Bashkortostan, 64 species in Chelyabinsk Province, and 78 species in Orenburg Province). urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:73A18B73-B3AA-4B8B-8C4F-01A6E155CEFD
