Ciao,
Could you please help me determine this species I found a few years ago in either the northern half of France or south Germany (I do not recall exactly).
Thank you in advance. Kind regards,
V.R.

Personally, I would have suggested Carabus (Megodontus) violaceus ...
What do the experts think :?:

It can well be a violaceus sensu lato. Being a female and of almost unknown origin, it won't be possible to go beyond that, in my opinion. :hi:

To be more precise on the origin: although I am not certain any more (it was found 25 years ago, and I did not have the same rigor as today), there is a high chance that it was found +/- 50 km around Karlsruhe (Baden, Germany).
I can make some more photos in October.

even more photos would be of little value, only a male specimen, through examination of genitalia features, could definitely solve the question
