Poecilus (Poecilus). Somiglia al cursorius, ma non conosco le specie turche.

Thank you alot for the ID.

Poecilus (Poecilus) cupreus cupreus (Linnaeus, 1758)

P. cursorius and closely related species (anatolicus, festivus (*) and reicheianus) all have lateral groove of pronotum evenly narrow, nor broadened posteriorly; and korbi group species are even more different (they have e.g. only 1st antennomere red)

(*) provided that anatolicus and festivus are actually different species, and not simply colour forms of one and the same species
