Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi ¡ I have this specimen I think that is P.nigrita or iberophilus . Is from North Spain (EUSKADI)

Dear colleague, Iberophilus is not a species name, but it is a subgenus. Certainly this species is certainly not a P. nigrita, but the doubt could be between P. cristatus ssp. cantabricus or C. cantaber. Can you please see if the last tarsomere is provided of setae inferiorly or not? This could help solving the doubt.

This like the last post ¡

Dear colleague, sorry for the delay. I think I can see some small setae, so it should be Pterostichus cristatus ssp. cantabricus Schaufuss, 1862.

Greetings
