Here are some more Belgorod region, Borisovsky district.

The topic is called "Definition of ground beetles of the genus Carabus"
For other ground beetles (as well as other beetles) - another topic: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtop...50#entry1571540

By the way, the first beetle is Broscus cephalotes.

Please check the carabiner.
Moscow region, Serebryanoprudsky district, south of the village. Lishnyagi. 8-9. VIII. 2015.
Mixed forest, soil traps and manual harvesting at night.
In the first photo on the left, as I believe, Carabus sibiricus haeres (23mm), on the right C. hortensis.
In the second photo, probably a Carabus convexus (17mm).

Well, yes, that's right.

At the same point, within a radius of 200-250m, a certain number of dissimilar carabuses were caught, about which I would also like to ask for advice.
At first glance, they are divided into 3 groups:
1) quite typical in color and habit of C. cancellatus (in the general photo, 2 upper rows: 8 females, 4 males. The next two photos show the first 4 females and all males). They are broad, convex, larger, elliptical ribs. The legs are completely black. The first segment of the antennae is red in all but one female (4th from the left in the first row). The color is typical-copper-red prsp and the border of elithras, elithras are golden-greenish.
2) 4 individuals (2.2) are noticeably flatter, narrower, and smaller. Females are more prominent than males (in the general photo in the 3rd row + a separate photo). The shape of the prsp, elytra and coloration are more similar to C. granulatus, but there is a variation. The thighs, except for the distal part, are red, but the first segment of the antennae is black.
3) The rest - generally look like C. granulatus (two lower rows, 4 males and females in a separate photo), but there are interesting variations in the overall color (green male in a separate photo - I saw such only from the Crimea). The thighs and first segment of the antennae are black. Some have similarities with C. cancellatus in color and habit (for example, the 3rd female on the left), while others are more "traditional" in appearance. In the last photo, the female of this form is compared to the female from the first group with black 1st segments of antennae.
I would be grateful for your comments and opinions about the species.

...I will be grateful for comments and opinions about the species.

The first two rows in the general image are C. cancellatus, the rest are C. granulatus. The last image shows granulatus on the left and cancatus on the right.
The second row is of course smaller and narrower, because these are males.
In general, the species differ well in their habitus, including the shape and sculpture of the prsp, the shape of the nadcr. The shoulder angles of granulatus are sharper, while those of cancellatus are rounded. The sides in the first case are more parallel, in the second - rounded, etc.
Another question is that these species often run sympatrically and may form a certain percentage of hybrids. But I don't have that information.

In general, I thought so, but in this connection I have a long series of questions. I apologize if this is common knowledge, I have never specifically dealt with carabuses. I would appreciate an answer to at least some of them.
1. How common is the black 1st segment of the antennae in C. cancellatus? I've seen photos of them from Yu.Europe, I haven't seen anything from Russia.
2. Is there a red 1st segment of the antennae in C. granulatus?
3. Are the black-legged C. cancellatus fully known from the contiguous regions of the Moscow, Ryazan, and Tula regions (let me remind you that the point of discovery is the extreme south of the Serebryanoprudsky district of the Moscow region)? Does this attribute have a geographical location?
4. Are C. granulatus with red thighs known from adjacent areas of the Moscow, Ryazan, and Tula regions, and does the trait have a geographical location (I've only seen them from Altai and Zap.Ukraine)?
5. Are there any micropopulations (panmictic aggregates) of C. cancellatus in which individuals with both red and black thighs are found? What parts of the range are they typical for? The same applies to C. granulatus. That is, whether stable polymorphism is possible.
6. Is there an unambiguous qualitative rather than quantitative trait (apart from the width of the episternes of the posterior thorax, it is also essentially quantitative) that would reliably distinguish these 2 species? These are different subgenera.
7. Is there really no data on the possibility of hybridization of these two widely distributed and seemingly well-studied species? I searched the Internet, but I didn't find anything sensible on the spot.

Rep. Adygea, Maikop district, Lagonaki plateau, ~6 km South-west "Guest house Oshten", at the path through Abadzeshsky lane. on the Instructor slot. H~2025м. Alpika.

I have in my collection completely black-legged C. cancellatus from the Kostroma region, as well as the Uglich and Rostov districts of the Yaroslavl region.

5. Are there any micropopulations (panmictic aggregates) of C. cancellatus in which individuals with both red and black thighs are found?

In the Rostov region of the Yaroslavl region, I know a point where both black-legged and red-backed C. cancellatus are caught simultaneously.

Carabus (Tomocarabus) decolor Fischer, 1823
Size should be around 16-19 mm.

Endophallus.

C.cancellatus or C. cumanus ?
Rostov region, Myasnikovsky district, 2 km south of the village. Shchedry, Donskoy Chulek river valley.
6-8. VII. 2015.
Wide forest with dense vegetation. opadom. Uks. traps + manual collection at night.
Male 23mm, female 27mm. At the same point, 6 more females of the same habit, length 26-30mm, were collected.

C. cancellatus or C. cumanus ?

This is cancellatus. And cumanus is even very different in appearance, and I'm not sure that its range extends north to the Rostov region...

Carabus (Megodontus) schoenherri Fischer, 1822-standard. The photo is poorly visible. If the elytra border is black, then ab. melanchlorus Fischer, 1827

The photo, of course, is unimportant. But the first, imho, is C. (Pachystus) glabratus Paykull, 1790.
The second one is like yes, Carabus (Archicarabus) nemoralis Muller, 1764.

Thanks! Does the nominative subspecies henningi live in Mirny? Schoenherri has a purple pronotum and border. And on glabratus and nemoralis, in the Zvenigorodsky district, what subspecies run?

There are about twenty Mirny villages on the map of Russia.
S. schoenherri means ordinary. Ab. chakassicus has chocolate-brown elytra with dark blue edging.
C. (Pachystus) glabratus and Carabus (Archicarabus) nemoralis are nominatives.

Exactly, although Siberia is not the whole of Russia, but also not a little. And for some reason I thought about the famous Yakut Mirny
. S. schoenherri means ordinary. Ab. chakassicus has chocolate-brown elytra with dark blue edging. - the elytra is chocolate brown, but the edging is dark blue or purple? It is necessary to compare it with something, I don't understand the boundaries.

Carabus (Procrustes) coriaceus kindermanni Waltl, 1838

I looked at the distribution map on the "Fauna of Europe" and was puzzled : the Balearic Islands, Crete, Crimea, and the North Caucasus are not Europe, but Cyprus is Europe, where is the logic?
