Male of Ophonus sp. Dissection required, please ... If you need article with revision of this genus (Sciaky 1987), please let me know.

It is certainly Ophonus (Metophonus) sp.. When I followd the key in that publication, I reached O. (M.) rupicola. But the aedeagus is totally different.

There are two very little spines where the arrow indicates

It is very similar to O. rupicola in the external features though:

Hello Barış,
most of them are very similar externally.

Yours looks like O. rufibarbis to me , image is at page 85 of Riccardo's work, but better to wait for more opinions.

Yes, you are right, the aedeagus is similar to that of O.rufibarbis. But the pronotum is not strongly transversal, isn't it?

It seems that pronotum is transversal :) because it fits O.rufibarbis:
