Hi,

this Carabid was found last week, too:

Is it possible to recognize to species level ?

Best regards

I would guess Calathus (Neocalathus) melanocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758).
Check if the shoulders have a small denticle or not (see pictures with the label n.2 and n.3 in this post), and if the episterna are reddish.

Thanks Mauro. I checked this denticle and I found it :)
Therefore it is Calathus (Neocalathus) melanocephalus (Linnaeus, 1758).
Thanks one more time :)
