Forum Entomologi Italiani

This species is endemic in Romania, being found only in the Southern Carpathians. My both specimens were collected in August, when it seems not proper to collect Carabus, because they are just fresh hatched. I was too scared to extract the aedeagus from the male. The dried fresh emerged specimens are so fragile like the Christmas tree ornaments.

The both specimens were collected in the same area, but in different dates. I don't want to make 2 different posts.

The male: Romania, Fagaras Mts., Cabana Valea Fagaras, 27.VIII.1958. Teodoreanu M. leg.

The female: Romania, Fagaras Mts., VIII.1980. Man Daniela leg.
