Agonum
- likely subgenus Europhilus in which species separation requires scoping.

Excellent, thanks Peter.
I'm preparing for a field course, so probably won't be able to go to the post office before then. If you don't mind waiting, I will send specimens by end of next month.

My phrase "requires scoping"
was intended to mean " can't tell species from just image". I wasn't actually asking to have specimen sent to me. But as long as you brought it up, I do accept specimen for accurate species determination if that is your wish. Thanks Stephen.
