It is a specimen of Ophonus of the subgenus Metophonus. The species can be determined only on the basis of the examination of the aedeagus and of its internal structures. This specimen is a male, so it could be possible to dissect it. With the aedeagus I could tell you something more about it. There could be not less trhan 6 species that it could be at first sight  Best regards

not sure if this particular specimen arrived at me (but I think tis are from the same species)... found only two labeled 8.july.2010. So... both collected in 8.july.2010 in Moldova (46.428056 / 26.440833), leg. Alexandru Pintilioaie (alexaandru). [adding this images... maybe something new arise] cosmln |

I am sorry to disappoint you, but without the dissection of the aedeagus it is impossible to assess which of the numerous species of the subg. Metophonus these specimens can be. I have revised the group many years ago and still had not found any reliable external character. |

I have revised the group many years ago and still had not found any reliable external character. I'm not disappointed at all... just hoped to escape from more work Not now but will be back on this and will let you know, if Alexandru is not coming first with something. Grazie, cosmln |
