For a compact Kahler manifold, we say that a form is primitive if it is contaned in the kernel of the dual Lefschetz operator, or the co-Lefschetz operator. For all examples I know, a primitive form $\omega$ is closed with respect to the d de Rham exterior derivative if and only if $\omega$ is harmonic. I suspect that this is true for any compact K"ahler manifold, but I don;t know how one would prove it.
