Definition of ground beetles of the genus Carabus

Or so

Taphoxenus gigas, if 3 centimeters.. Nothing else is there and there is no such thing.

The ripper is right - Taphoxenus gigas

help me, too .The problem is the following-I do not have a camera I will describe how I can in words I caught two ground beetles in the north of the Donetsk region in an oak forest 12 years ago. Of all the ground beetles of the European part, they are more suitable for car. excellenz . size 23 mm But car. Exts. from the right bank I have exts. from Kiev and Cherkasy . but given its variability, mine are not at all like them. Mine are dull with a faint bronze sheen. the border almost does not stand out and it is pale bronze in the magnifying glass of the female it is visible that the dotted line alternates on the elytra followed by a solid line and again a dotted line, etc. very small relief .The male has no solid lines, all dotted lines. and most probably the main thing is the shield of my beetles. this isosceles triangle is clearly visible. the base is close to the pronotum and quite large .At kar. Exc. the shield is almost invisible

Identify a dead phone number without a photo. From myself, I can say that I have been fishing and continue to catch in these parts for many years. At random, most likely it is exellens, because indeed the species is quite variable, and it occurs infrequently in the Lower Reaches.

Hello, well, I have doubts about this Carabus'a.
Can you tell me?
Place of capture Rostov region.
Plain.
I suspect that this is Pachystus hungaricus mingens.
Am I right?

It is probably the Carabus (Trachycarabus) perrini planus Géhin, 1885.
But I can't say for sure because of the poor quality of the photo.

Thanks ! I'll try to make a better photo. Can you tell me what is the difference between these two types?

perrini glitter

help me identify
two tribaks from the Kintrish nature reserve-Adjara,
I strongly doubt that this is a tribax circasicus

help me identify two ground beetles,
the problem is that knowing well the ground beetles of the Eupropean part of the USSR, I can not identify these,
they are as similar as possible to the carabus excelents

for comparison:
on the left is the ground beetle exelents from Kiev, on the right from Cherkasy.

excellence is!

Without going into details, but at a cursory glance - Hungarian is much chunkier and black in color. Perrini has a bronze cast.

Igor1962-Ripper is right - it is excellens excellens, a very polymorphic species. By the way, in the museum collections I saw the same ones from near Kiev, with continuous secondary and tertiary intervals.

Most likely, it is Carabus (Tribax) pushkini kintrishensis Gottwald, 1980.
The locale is exactly his. At least it looks like S. puschkini.

Please tell me!

Everyone has the same locale:
Primorye, Khasansky district, Chuguevka, 22-26, 2008

1.? (Aulonocarabus) careniger Chaudoir, 1863 30 mm long
2.? (Megodontus) vietinghoffi ssp. Adams, 1812 Length 32 mm
3. Long 26 mm
4.? (Morphocarabus) wulffiusi A. Morawitz, 1862 Long 23 mm
5.? (Morphocarabus) wulffiusi A. Morawitz, 1862 Long 23 mm
6.? (Morphocarabus) wulffiusi A. Morawitz, 1862 Long 25 mm
7.? (Morphocarabus) wulffiusi A. Morawitz, 1862 Long 22 mm
8? granulatus tellurius H. Bates, 1883 Length 28 mm
9.? arvensis faldermanni Dejean, 1829 Length 21 mm
10.? arvensis faldermanni Dejean, 1829 Length 23 mm

The rest seems to be true, the female in 6 photos is interesting-in general, "non-standard".

can you tell me the Latin name for this form of beetle excellence-upper bronze?

And exactly in the 1st photo Kareniger? Or is it a subspecies of canaliculatus? Can someone tell me what exactly is the difference between these types?

Previously, kareniger was also a subspecies of canaliculatus, then they were bred. They seem to differ in size (the kareniger is larger), texture and depth of the margins between the ribs on the elytra (shagreen and less deep in the kareniger), and possibly the shape of the pronotum (the posterior corners are more widely separated), but I'm not sure. Let the experts correct me...

Okay, let's get this straight... Here is a quote from the DV determinant.


And now we are looking at the ZIN website.
http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/rus/carab110.htm
What is shown in this photo should be assigned to the praedo taxon by the DV identifier. Currently, this taxon does not exist; in some places it is listed as a synonym of Kareniger.
So which of these is correct? Maybe someone from the specialists will tell you...

Chuguevka is not Khasansky district. Chuguevsky district is located in the Central Primorye region. This is Sikhote-Alin. The locations are completely different. The fauna is the same. Yes, and the distance between these points is 500 kilometers.
About kanalikulyatus-kareniger hardly anyone will answer-a white spot. The French tied such a knot. And with a bottle, you can't make it out. Only with a clean slate to understand. My advice is to collect series from different locations.

I'll add it. For myself, I decided to use the tables of G. S. Lafer from the above determinant of DV. With an adjustment for Primorye, in the west of the Khasansky district (Black Mountains, goes to China) , we can distinguish another subspecies.

Help!
Carabuses, somehow I did not come across in a wide variety, so I have little experience in determining them.
First time I caught such a beast:

Rostov region, Azov district, Chumbur-Kosa village area. 29.04.10. Body length: 25 mm.

Similar to Carabus (Trachycarabus) perrini planus Gehin, 1885 (95%)
If there was a male, I would definitely say.

Thanks!

I didn't see this type in the lists for the Rostov region.
I compared it with the photo on Zina's website... something in my specimens microsculpture is much "softer". Or does it vary a lot?

This taxon has variations . Beetles from the plains steppes have a smoother, elitist structure.

Please help me identify ground beetles trapped on the edge of a forest in the vicinity of Stavropol, Stavropol Territory.
One of them, I suspect, is granulatus?
1.
2.
3.
4.

No, granulatus alas...
first two are E. cumanus
next two are T. decolor

Isn't this a case of convexity? The elitr sculpture is poorly visible

Ugh you, of course convexus, I think one thing I write another...

Ugh you, of course convexus, I think one thing I write another...

Which one is the first or the second? And take a look at your email address.

Both of them! I checked my email address...

Tell me, PLZ. Novosibirsk, 23.06.10. Mixed birch-pine forest.

Can you tell me if this is a Carabus ?errans Fischer, 1823.
Zaporozhye region, Novonikolaevsky district, Ternovatoe village. 02.07.2010.

Carabus (Trachycarabus) sibiricus errans Fischer, 1823

Perhaps something from Carabus can be identified from these photos - I will be very grateful.

My (student) fees are 2003.
Adygea, near the base "Belaya Rechka". You can specify the label if necessary...

Large large-Archiplectes prometheus prometheus
There is one smaller black-Archiplectes reitteri reitteri
Small bronze 3 pcs. - Microplectes convallum In
the photo below - Eucarabus cumanus
From small carabids, if you are interested, then:
Bright blue Stenochlaenius coerulescens
Laemostenus-L. sericeus
Cychrus - C. aeneus starcki
and the remaining pterostichus like Eurymelanius caucasicus

thank you very much!

Hello Dear
Podskajite please, what kind of beautiful green beetle is resting from the heat in the underground of my house? (Kirov, August 2010)
In the photo, its color is "not quite" green due to the flash and illumination with an LED flashlight
