A small ground beetle species in the family Carabidae, characterized by its elongated and linear body structure, endemic to European regions with temperate climates.
Found in diverse terrestrial environments including grasslands, forest edges, agricultural margins, and low-vegetation areas across Europe, typically in moderate humidity zones with temperatures ranging from 5-25°C.
Plays a critical role as a predatory ground beetle, controlling insect populations, participating in nutrient cycling, and serving as a bioindicator of ecosystem health and environmental quality.
