Have just taken four P. oblongostriatus and I am odds with the description in Luff. He says that the pronotal fovea are hardly punctured each side but mine vary from virtually unpunctured to quite heavily punctured. Also I would not describe the eyltral margins as extremely narrow - they are narrow but not remarkably for Carabids. Should we update the Carabid crib or have I done something horribly wrong?

Pterostichus oblongostriatus
Clive,
If you could leave the same comment here (http://markgtelfer.co.uk/beetles/carabidae-ground-beetles/), I'll pick it up and deal with it next time I revise the carabid crib. The species is Pterostichus oblongopunctatus, BTW.
This PSL site may have superseded the pan-species listing pages on my website but the rest of it is still carrying on!
