7 (4) Primary and secondary elytral intervals strongly prominent. Tubercles of primary intervals relatively broad and short. Tertiary intervals indistinct, vanishing. Usually dark coppery in colour, frequently with greenish, sometimes with olive-green lustre. Femora typically dark, first antennái segments usually dark (rarely maybe pale). Length: 22-26 mm. Distribution: Croatia (Slavonija, Srema), Serbia (Srema) and Hungary (Villányi-hegység, Baranyai-dombság, Mecsek, Zselic, Tolnai-Hegyhát); the mountainous and hilly regions influenced by the sub-Mediterranean climate of the nearby Dinaric Mountain — Carabus intermedius Dejean, 1826 Carabus semistriatus intermedius Dejean, 1826 8 (3) Posterior pronotal angles relatively short, less prominent. 9 (26) Tertiary intervals indistinct, vanishing. 10 (17) Primary and secondary elytral intervals moderately prominent. Tubercles of primary intervals moderately convex, usually elongate-oval. 11 (16) Pronotum less transverse. Elytra more convex; lateral margins roundly arched, feebly parallel. 12 (13) Pronotum less transverse; lateral margins plainly arched, more parallel. Elytral surface finely, obsoletely shagreened, most often greasily shining. Primary and secondary elytral intervals less prominent; tubercles of primary intervals more elongate. Usually dark coppery or bronze red, exceptionally fuliginous in colour, sometimes with greenish lustre. Femora and first antennái segments typically [Austria: Carinthia] or usually dark (Hungary: Belső-Somogy, KülsőSomogy), or femora usually dark (maybe pale), first antennái segments typically pale (the north-eastern part of Slovenia; the north-western part of Croatia; Austria: Styria; Hungary: Alpokalja (Kőszegi-hegység, Soproni-hegység, etc.), Őrség, Vasi-Hegyhát, Kemeneshát, Zalai-dombság, Dunántúli-középhegység (Keszthelyi-hegység, Bakony, Vértes, Gerecse, Budai-hegység, Pilis, Visegrádi-hegység, etc.)). Length: 18-28 mm. Distribution: Slovenia, Croatia, Austria and Hungary; the mountainous and hilly regions influenced by the temperate climate of the nearby Eastern Alps — Carabus soproniensis Dejean, 1826 Carabus semistriatus soproniensis Dejean, 1826 13 (12) Pronotum more transverse; lateral margins roundly arched, less parallel. Elytral surface finely but distinctly shagreened, most often fairly dull. Primary and secondary elytral intervals more prominent; tubercles of primary intervals less elongate. 14 (15) Elytra more convex; lateral margins more roundly arched. Tubercles of primary elytral intervals usually more elongate. Usually coppery or bronze red in colour, fairly dull but sometimes with greenish lustre. Femora dark or pale, first antennái segments typically pale. Length: 18-26 mm. Distribution: Slovakia (the Northern Carpathians: Malá Fatra, Vefká Fatra, Tatry, Nizke Tatry, Slovensky kras, etc.), probably also in Hungary (Aggteleki-karszt); the mountains and hills of temperate climate — Carabus cancellatus unterrasse tatricus Kolbe, 1913 [Carabus semistriatus tatricus Kolbe, 1913] 15 (14) Elytra less convex; lateral margins less roundly arched. Tubercles of primary elytral intervals usually less elongate. Usually dark coppery or bronze red in colour, fairly dull but lateral margins frequently with coppery red or greenish
