Ophonus puncticeps
Ophonus puncticeps is a species of ruderal ground beetle native to the Palearctic realm, including Europe and the Near East.
From the article Ophonus puncticeps on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The species is black coloured with brownish legs and antennas. It is phytophagous and is 6.5–9 millimetres (0.26–0.35 in) long.
Range & habitat
In Ireland, it was believed to be found in Belfast, where it was first found in 1902. At first, it turned out to be Harpalus puncticollis, a species described by Paykull in the same year. But, later on it was confirmed that it was actually Ophonus rufibarbis.
