Treatment

Carabus ( Morphocarabus) odoratus batesianus Deuve, 1995 stat. rest.

= Carabus ( Morphocarabus) odoratus dabanensis Shilenkov, 1996 syn. nov.

The taxon batesianus was described as subspecies of C. ( M.) odoratus Motschulsky, 1844 by old single male from “Baikal”, without precise label data, and till now (B řezina B., Huber C. & Marggi W., 2017) it was considered as synonym of nominative subspecies of C. ( M.) odoratus . Study of Holotype of batesianus, kindly provided to me by Dr. Thierry Deuve in MNHN, revealed that this taxon is clearly conspecific with C. ( M.) odoratus dabanensis Shilenkov, 1996 . Large series of C. ( M.) odoratus dabanensis collected in type locality, together with one Paratype, are deposited in collection of author (cAA). New status and synonymy are proposed here.
