could this rather be in the angustata group?
It looks like (when zooming in on the ventral view) that the apical spur is trifid.

Amara littoralis Mannerheim ?
I think there is a good chance that this is
Amara littoralis
Mannerheim. I can't see how many preapical setae there are on the elytra, but otherwise the appearance of this specimen is in good agreement with
A. littoralis
. The elytron has para-scutellar setae, the tibia is paler than the femur and the shape of the pronotum, the slightly acute posterior angle and position of the postero-lateral pronotal setigerous puncture are all consistent with this species, as is the slightly aeneous green colouration of the specimen.

Amara
