Coraebus hastanus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau, 1839 is easily distinguished from the other species of the genus Coraebus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau, 1839. It was divided into three subspecies, but the main diagnostic characters were variable. In order to understand the morphological variability and taxonomy of subspecies of C. hastanus, shape of elytral apex, lateral margin of elytra and the aedeagi were analyzed using geometric morphometric and traditional morphometric approaches. Based on the results and distribution patterns of the three subspecies, C. hastanus oberthueri Lewis, 1896 is treated as synonym of C. hastanus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau, 1839, and C. hastanus ephippiatus Théry, 1938 is elevated to species rank, and these two species are also redescribed and illustrated.
1839年的哈氏科雷布象（Coraebus hastanus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau）很容易与1839年的科雷布象属（Coraebus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau）的其他物种区分开来。它曾被分为三个亚种，但主要的诊断特征是可变的。为了了解哈氏科雷布象亚种的形态变异性和分类学，我们使用几何形态测量法和传统形态测量法分析了鞘翅顶端形状、鞘翅侧缘和阳茎。基于这三个亚种的研究结果和分布模式，1896年的奥氏科雷布象（C. hastanus oberthueri Lewis）被视为1839年的哈氏科雷布象（C. hastanus Gory & Laporte de Castelnau）的同物异名，1938年的鞍背科雷布象（C. hastanus ephippiatus Théry）被提升为物种等级，并且对这两个物种进行了重新描述和图示。
