For a compact Kähler 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 Kähler manifold, but I don't know how one would prove it.
