Harpalus rufipalpis

It could very well be what Dr. Andrew Paul McKenzie Pegman had identified but I have doubts about its exact species as the antennae and legs look somewhat different since in H. rufipalpis they are somewhat reddish-brown to rusty colored. In the picture the same features are not observable.

It could very well be Harpalus anxius or Anisodactylus binotatus, with the latter possessing very similar elytra striations.

I respect the attitude of dear colleagues here, but in my opinion and according to the photos it seems to be a carabid beetle from genus Abax maybe Abax parallelepipedus.

Thank you Dr. Masouleh,

Abax parallelepipedus could very well be the species, may be it is.. apart from the fact that the said species possesses 11 segments in the antenna, including scape and pedicel..but the images show 12 inclusively. One individual possesses rusty colored sensilla on the scape as far as the image is concerned.

Are there some localised modifications known? May be a variety or even subspecies?

I stand corrected, there are no sensilla. Then I think Dr. Masouleh might be spot on.

Dr Elaheh Daghighi is right. They are Abax (Abax) parallelepipedus parallelepipedus (Piller & Mitterpacher, 1783).

In the first photo, and especially on the specimen on the left, is quite clearly visible the raised into a ridge at base seventh elytral interstia, unique to genus Abax. The only species of the genus present in Ireland is parallelepipedus, the nominotypical subspecies.

Thank you dear Athanasios for confirmation and the complete ID explanation of the specimen.

Thanks for your contributions.
