Ophonus puncticeps Stephens, 1828
Ophonus puncticeps is a black phytophagous ground beetle, with a past misrecorded Belfast sighting from 1902.
Ophonus puncticeps Stephens, 1828 is a black species with brownish legs and antennae. It is phytophagous, and has a body length of 6.5–9 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in). In Ireland, this species was once thought to occur in Belfast, where it was first recorded in 1902. The original 1902 record was first determined to be Harpalus puncticollis, a species described by Paykull in the same year, and later confirmed to actually be Ophonus rufibarbis.
