Hi,

found this small carabid (9 mm) in a pitfall trap installed in a mountain area (Babes Mountain, 45.465958 / 25.913235, ~1350 m altitude) (29.june-8.july.2010). The habitat is a Fagus forest (mixed with Abies and some Picea) near the tree limit.
is possible to go for a name? if needed I can try to make also other photos.

Grazie,
cosmln

Surely a Leistus... other colleagues will probably add more details to this partial identification.

Thanks Marco.
After checking with Trautner & Geigenmuller... no obvious shoulder ---> Leistus piceus (Frölich, 1799). But not sure if here are any similar species (the area is a little out of the limit of this books).

Leistus (s. str.) piceus Frölich, 1799

hi cosmin, i see now your last message... no, in this area no species similar to L. piceus is known to occur; also L. gracilis (see fauna eur) has elytra with no prominent shoulders, yet it is a high altitude, nivicolous species, not a forest-dwelling one

thanks to both of you, learned something new today... and hope will be no problem for more carabids to come.
