Definition of ground beetles of the genus Carabus

It seems to me that this is planipennis. I will also specify the ranges, and then I will tell you exactly.

Thank you omar
Range coincides, planipennis from carabusonline.co.uk very similar to my beetle,
another individual

I think that the first two are something like C. prometheus, and the Far Eastern one is Carabus (Acoptolabrus) constricticollis

Georgia, ~10 km northwest of Pasanauri, broad-leaved forest, ~1500 m
Together with this species, there is only one Tribax – Carabus osseticus.

If it is not difficult, I would like to look at Tribax osseticus

I think that the first two are something like C. prometheus, and the Far Eastern one is Carabus (Acoptolabrus) constricticollis

I vote for A. prometheus

If it is not difficult, I would like to look at Tribax osseticus as well

Please

As for the Beetles from the Krasnodar Territory, I definitely look like C. prometheus, but my prometheus is also from the Krasnodar Territory.

Far Eastern buzzer definitely not shrenki?? And then according to the pattern on the elytra there is something from constricticollis, but the pronotum, in my opinion, is Shrenkovskaya..

Maybe schrencki, and even more likely. Bug is available, tables are also available - you can also check

In my opinion, the Far Eastern beetle is schrenki, it does not look like constricticollis.

exactly shrenki )

Carabus (Acoptolabrus) schrenckii schrenckii Menetries, 1860-this is absolutely accurate.

If anyone is interested, this is what constricticolis.

Again I'm with my Tribax
I think it's compressus reitteri, but I'm not sure

Dear friends!
I'm also asking for help.
I got my hands on beetles from Ukraine:
Zakarpatskaya reg., Svakyanskiy pl.,
Volchiy log vil. 400 m. 03.08.04
leg. Caikovskyi
are defined as:Autocarabus cancellatus Illiger
And everyone would like them Autocarabus cancellatus Illiger, one thing confuses me - the size is 32-33mm.
All my fees from other places are no more than 28mm, and according to the determinant, no more than 28mm. Maybe in Ukraine some other form?
And the second question that follows smoothly from this:
Autocarabus cancellatus Illiger has a large number of subspecies and forms. Where can I find a description of these differences?

in principle, it is similar to Ullrich, but the perdnespinka more closely resembles cancellatus, and even the first segment of the antennae is red.
waiting for other comments

I have a 25 mm female from the Odessa region. and from the Rivne region. the male is 20 mm. (someone may need this information)

I didn't want to anticipate things, but... In one of the next spring issues of the magazine "Ecology and Life" there will be an article about the karabus cancellatus, but from a completely different region.

I also have very large C. cancellatus from the Carpathians (Poland, Bieszczady), apparently it is some kind of mountain subspecies.

Nikolai, your bug is identified correctly. This is C. cancellatus. In C. ulrichi, the prsp is transverse (the width is greater than the length), the posterior corners at the base of the prsp are not flattened or drawn back. There are practically no clippings on the top of the elytra. But the size of the beetle is impressive! I have never seen such C. cancellatus before! The subspecies isn't easy either. The interpretation of subspecies of this taxon by well-known experts, to put it mildly, does not coincide very much. Here is a recent revision of the subgenus Tachypus (Checklist of Carabus of the world Liste des Tachypus (auratus, cancellatus, vagans, cristoforii)
http://www.carabus.eu/lng_FR_srub_12-Liste...s-du-Monde.html

Indeed, the situation with cancellatus in the Carpathian region is very complicated. It's a pity that I didn't pay much attention to this before. I just threw them all away.
About the beetle posted on the photo-this is definitely not lliger .
Most likely, it is ssp tuberculatus n. ungensis or durus. This subspecies is typical of Transcarpathia .
In the highlands , in the northern part of the Carpathians, as well as in Bukovina, other subspecies live .
The confusion of the situation lies in the fact that the localities of the original descriptions and modern interpretations of these very places do not quite coincide correctly. They are quite strongly displaced. And complete anarchy in the taxonomy of names .

I suggest creating a theme based on cancellatus . And upload photos and information from different places of its wide range.

rpanin, what do you think about the gigantism of the beetle? Have you ever seen such large specimens in your region?

They broke up repeatedly in the Transcarpathian region. Quite a common and sometimes massive view.

In the photo, presumably illiger = ssp cancellatus
26 mm.
Podolskaya upland. (Carpathian region)

http://www.coleoptera-literatura.ic.cz/
Jiří Niedl - Monografie československých druhů tribu Carabini (101 stran, 18 001 kB)
In Czech.

Thank you all very much for all possible help.
We will learn Czech.

Comrades, who can comment on this bug?
May 2000, Nepal

This is not Carabus (Meganebrius) tuberculipennis Mandl, 1974.
Most likely it is Carabus (Meganebrius) wallichi Hope, 1831.
Well, I think so.

I didn't want to anticipate things, but... In one of the next spring issues of the magazine "Ecology and Life" there will be an article about the karabus cancellatus, but from a completely different region.

So, as promised: http://entomology.ru/archiv_text/benedikto...iktov-2008b.zip - article about Caucasian Carabus cancellatus (scanned in JPG in ZIP archive).

Help me determine the location of the catch of a karabus: Abkhazia, ROC. Gantiadi (Tsandrypsh), mountain forest, Sept.
I have a suspicion that this is Carabus cumanus.

To be honest, I haven't seen any blue cumanuses in my collections. They are occasionally copper-red or green...Imho not him.

While we are waiting for Dmitry Obydov's official response, I can safely assume that this is the same blue Caucasian canyatus that the Insect Expert wrote about in the journal Ecology and Life. Scan of the article on this page.

In that place I found more elytra from these beetles

And who thread has a picture of this very Carabus jantinus?

apart from Sphodristocarabus jantinus, there are no considerations, and it is unlikely that there can be anything else besides it.

C. janthinus rugatus

Does this species occur in Russia? Because I was fishing 10 km from the border

Of course! In the Krasnodar Territory, it is very common even.

In Adygea, at low altitudes, this ground beetle is very common along with M. exatratus (septemcarinatus?) and A. prometheus
