Definition of ground beetles of the genus Carabus

without the bag and aggoporius, I won't tell you who runs there - and they are not distinguishable externally - I have one male from the Lower Arkhyz - but I didn't dissect it.

exaratus, septemcarinatus, or both? All three specimens, however, were caught in the same forest at a distance of about 50 m from each other. Krasnodar Krai, Anapa district, Sukhoi Liman tract, August 2011.

Once again, all 3 specimens of exaratus - true septemcarinatus are found only reliably from the left bank of the Shakhe River. and from the right bank to Anapa and then from the north. GKH slopes - everywhere exaratus. From the left bank of the Shahe River and along the southern slopes of the GKH to Turkey inclusive - septemcarinatus. Sympatry is not known to me - I will be grateful for any additional information to clarify the boundaries of their distribution.

I'll duplicate my message from the topic on beetles.
Is it possible to identify a ground beetle from this photo?
Georgia, Telavi.

Carabus (Sphodristocarabus) adamsi Adams, 1817

Someone tell me about http://alsphotopage.com/gallery/index/id/1635/list/undef unfortunately, not all of them are labelled... Thanks!

first in a row

this is the Carabus (Carabulus) leachi ssp.

Thanks! Don't you know anyone else here? http://alsphotopage.com/gallery/index/id/1635/list/undef

Theoretically, everyone is familiar - but without detailed labels and without examining the beetle in reality and studying the genital structures from the PHOTO, unfortunately, I haven't signed anything for a long time (especially genital species and female archiplects), except for banals - and everyone already knows them. For the reason that I know them very well and imagine differences from similar species and subspecies - which cannot be seen here. and the wish is to display labeled copies, after expert evaluation by specialists-then the value of information increases - and so far funny pictures. And I didn't catch the meaning of the site - just show what is in the collection and whether there is something else?
And I think you know a cool website for beetles http://carabidae.org take an example from him

I'm not a collector. Everything is written on the main page... Thanks!

If possible, please identify the animal.

Rather Carabus (Eucarabus) arvensis arvensis Herbst, 1784

Rather Carabus (Eucarabus) arvensis arvensis Herbst, 1784

You are absolutely right, overlooked .

Hello. Please help me identify the bug. It was caught in a flood (floating on water) in the Imereti lowland of the Adler district. 25.06.15.
I've presumably identified it as Broscus cephalotes. Am I right?

Scarites terricola

Scarites terricola

Thank you. I looked at it, but it actually looks more like it. Is Scarites terricola also from the golovach subfamily or some other subfamily?

Collected today 28.06.2015 in the Chelyabinsk region, near the city of Kyshtym.
What kind is it?

You'll need this one - http://carabidae.org/taxa/terricola-bonelli-1813 - you don't know the site? I recommend it-many questions will be removed. Moreover, in my opinion, it is more interesting to look for answers to them yourself.

Thank you. Of course, I figured it out myself a long time ago. And I asked right away just out of a train of thought, so to speak

Isn't it constantinovi?

Isn't it constantinovi?

Justify it.

Justify it.

Yes, as if I don't have such a strong justification, except that it is very similar to constantinovi. I caught a lot of them on the Aibga, they are now in the collection like two peas of water similar to the one in the photo. This is just my guess, I don't dare to argue with you in any way.

In vain, truth is born in polemics. After all, I indicated "IMHO", and not "I give a tooth". But I was hoping that your suggestion would be reasonable.
We look at the map, where is Aibga, and where is Dombay? I know the range of S. constantinovi - from Arkhyz-through GKH - west to the vicinity of Sochi and south to Abkhazia. Abkhazia has a different subspecies, much larger than the nominative. Have you seen biebersteini? Of course, they are similar, because they are close species (IMHO-species). Although, in terms of habit, typical specimens are different. I also take into account the size of the female in the photo.

I am not yet competent enough to argue with you. Maybe, if you remember, until recently I didn't know anything about carabuses and didn't even know where and how to catch them until 2013, when you and Dima and RIPPERom came to me and showed me. We still then went for Solokh-aul. (I am a former chlor-2, just lost my password, registered another account) P.S. I did not see biebersteini live.

In how! Hello, Evgeny! I was wondering where you were."

With this complex, everything is not so clear, if we take the broad concept of a species with polymorphism - then this is all one species with good subspecies (sympatry has not yet been found real), such as pushkini. I have not yet decided what to do with them: there are a lot of materials from Abkhazia, Kabarda, Ossetia, Georgia (these are problem territories - meaning by taxa). The bag practically does not work there for them, there are all the transitions that diverge in wedges. Europeans have long considered all this to be one type, while we still divide it into 3 as I. Retezar in the last monograph. but not everything is so convincing if you look at large samples (more than 50-80 copies). from any point, and from different heights, especially at the junctions of subspecies, including in the subspecies ocharensis-many places in the west of the Bzyb horseradish-blackfeet are caught together with redfeet). I'm preparing material for my work, but I haven't come to the last concept yet.

when will we see yandex. Disk?

The disk is not expected yet, and so there will be more work, maybe the book will then be formed from them

books have recently been very expensive and a disk in the Caucasus has long beckoned I understand that everything is complicated and incomprehensible and there is a lot of material and you need to process every mountain, but at least so that there is something to start from

Karabuses from Croatia. Surroundings of Plitvice lakes. Versions of the definition are very different))
1) Often found in a beech forest with rocky areas, height - 550 m. Big beautiful purple ones, males are smaller and more blue. Size 36-40mm:

2) And there was only one of them. Mixed forest edge, height - 700 m. Size 28mm:

Thanks!
But I would like to clarify about the version color:
a) Sort of like how Carabus (Morphocarabus) versicolor illigeri is now called (for example on biolib.cz) - Carabus scheidleri versicolor (Frivaldsky, 1835). Is this correct?
b) If you compare just by photos, then there are differences. For example, the shape of the pronotum corners is different. My instance is colored black with a colored border, not entirely colored. The sculpture of elytra seems to differ (not strong in this). Don't pay attention to it?

scheidleri -archaism. Forget it. The pronotum in my photos is slightly lowered. Although this is not important, as well as other external signs. Endophallus is important. In this zone, just somewhere passes the transitions from precelens to versicolor. But this is a completely different topic - transitions between views.

Please help me determine it. Belgorod region, Starooskolsky district.
