i don't think so, C. velutinus is not known to occur in anatolia, i think Chlaenius (s.str.) festivus (Panzer, 1796)

the other closely related turkish species, C. reitteri (very likely restricted to extreme east of anatolia), has distinctive exceedingly narrow yellow margin of elytra

Thank you Maurizio. Unfortunately can't find any photo of C. reitteri on the web :|.

hi jan

i think it's a rarely collected and anyway often misidentified species

i collected specimens in yuksekova (extreme SE anatolia) and found them different from normal festivus and fitting original description
