Woodland Ground Beetles (Pterostichini) - Pterostichus - Pterostichus melanarius
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
September 20, 2011
Size: about 2cm
Thought I'ld add this sighting for the Data section of Pterostichus, seeing as it wasn't reported in September.

Is this the appropriate place to submit a sighting to be added to the Data section?

Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger)
Hard to see enough detail in this photograph to be definitive, but it looks very much like the adventive Pterostichus melanarius (Illiger) [Note what appear to be dentate hind angles on the pronotum, characteristic of this species.]
