Help me determine the type of beetle, very similar to the Ground Beetle Lopatin, but not sure. Back color iridescent blue and green, belly black, odorous

Rostislav, in order to try to determine, first of all you need to know the date and geographical data of the insect's discovery. Without them- "fortune telling on coffee grounds" or "poking your finger in the sky"......

Rostislav, if you shot in your own area, then you can't even have a ground beetle in your dreams :) - its range is the Far East, or rather this species is endemic to the Sakhalin and Moneron Islands.. Here is a picture of a Caucasian ground beetle-Carabus caucasicus Adams, 1817. And Vasily is right, to determine the location of the survey is absolutely necessary - many views cannot be accurately determined without this. But in this case, you can :)

Vasily and Evgeny thank you very much for your help, I will take your advice on entering more complete information into account. To tell the truth, I live in a port city and we have a forest port, so I assumed that the beetle might have been imported from another place along with the forest. Thank you again for helping me finally sort out the bug's appearance.

But there is no view on the site, so it turns out?

In some places it appears as a subspecies in Carabus scabrosus But I won't decide anything yet: access to Carabidae.org I no longer have ((The resource has become fully paid, including access to the system (as I wrote earlier). We need to wait for Eugene to figure it out. And then I'll hammer in the date and geographical data.I have them: Rostislav sent them to the PM:)

Vasily! So what's the port city? Name the place, and I'm the type/subspecies.

Novorossiysk. Rostislav has already written under this photo (it is also in the gallery): https://insecta.pro/gallery/65462
