In Belgium the comon ones with Talpa are Heterotops niger, Aleochara spadicea, Quedius nigrocoeruleus, Q. longicornis and Pycnota paradoxa. The rest seems to be rare or very rare.

Something similar with you?

Yes these species are at Talpa.Yesterday I found at Talpa Bisnius spermophili GANGLBAU.,1897.Also, rare species.
