In my opinion according to the male genitalia it is C. aeruginosus (Olivier, 1790).

Thanx Giuseppe
...but I still have doubts , look at this
(photos of Polish species from web site Iconographium Coleoptera Poloniae Copyright by L.Borowiec)
...look at proportions of the head and pronotum...
I think probably in the keys an error is... ???
Cordiali saluti

I don't know but the genitalia of your species below is strange, it is similar to that of C. ruzenae Laibner but seems different. It needs to examine other specimens to exclude if it is aberrant.

Thanx ,but I'have only this two specimens
....
Giuseppe,what key you are using?You could add Figures of male genitalia, to the topic?

For the moment I cannot to invoice you figures; I compared the figures of your genitalia with paratypes of C. platiai. Mr Borowiec in his paper didn't give the drawing of genitalia of C. platiai so I am not sure if the specimen from Poland it is the true C. platiai !

I understand, thank you very much for the discussion

Dear Rafal,
I have seen L. poneli (I have paratypes) and according to the genitalia it is clearly separable . There is a problem to separate the females because there are not clear characters to separate the two species.

I meant for my second specimen genitals, but I know that this was a bad trail

...sorry ,my foult
...I meant my second specimen genitals ... , but now I know that this was a wrong way ...
Cordiali Saluti
