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.
