Hello.
Carpocoris purpureipennis is the correct name? Thank you very much.

Karol Ox.

According to this key http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/rider/Pentatomoidea/Genus_Carpocorini/Carpocoris.htm this is C. purpureipennis.

I beg your pardon Karol, but have you cought the specimens? Those keys start whit an examination of genitalia...

As far as I can see, the external morphology (in particular the shape of scutellum) seems to lead to Carpocoris (Carpocoris) pudicus (Poda, 1761).

Someone more experienced than me will tell you more.
