Subgenus Archiplectes (Carabus)

Are there any defining tables for achiplectes at all? And then they almost all look the same to me, except that idits, reuters are usually clearly visible, and the rest.. almost none

Who is Breunig?

Entalex, how do you photograph endophallus?

Canon A-710 IS camera, 7.1 Mpx. I don't use any attachments. Allows you to focus an object at a distance of 10 mm from the lens in Macro mode.

And what kind of lighting? I have a large approximation of the object turns out to be dark.

Wrap an ordinary sheet of paper (standard office format) around the camera that stands on a tripod.And now, I almost forgot .Cut a sheet of paper in half. Then twist it.
Feel the difference!

Wrap an ordinary sheet of paper (standard office format) around the camera that stands on a tripod.And now, I almost forgot .Cut a sheet of paper in half. Then twist and glue the edges together. It will come out like a cylinder. Before shooting, the camera will set the timer with a delay of 1-2 seconds. This will give you time to balance out fluctuations when you click on the "shoot"
button. This is a somewhat amateur method, it will save you from extraneous glare coming from different colored objects standing on the table ,around and distorting the color of the photographed object. And also, the lighting will make it more or less uniform from all sides.. Lamp on top. The beetle appears to be in the shadow of the camera. White balance - auto.
Feel the difference!

And what kind of lamp, a matte incandescent or daylight?
In Photoshop, of course, you can finish it, but you want to learn how to take pictures.

Actually, in the check lists of Deuve, Brezina A. rousianus Gott. listed as a subspecies of Archiplectes polychrous Rost, 1892. As far as this corresponds to reality, I do not undertake to comment.
