Sphodristocarabus varians - basilewskianus, Cankurtaran Pass, between Hopa and Borçka, VI/2011, 21-23mm

As I know Cankurtaran Pass is always foggy.When I passed there two weeks ago it was also foggy.The forests there are like rain forests Great place for these Carabidaes

Logic refers to the subspecies korbianus refers to species armeniacus. This species is also distributed in the territory of Armenia.
Look at the sculpture of the beetle, and compare with the first photo.

In my opinion, a subgenus Sphodristocarabaus best studied on the basis of revison K. Mandl. 1975. Revision der unter adamsi. ADAMS zusammengefaßten Formen der Sectio Sphodristocarabus des Genus Carabus. LINNÉ. (Carabidae, Col.)

according to this site:

Carabus (Sphodristocarabus) armeniacus Mannerheim, 1830
=korbianus Ganglbauer, 1887 S-Georgia:Batumi env.; NE-Turkey:Artvin:Hopa
