This species is very similar to the introduced C. nemoralis (European Ground beetle) and can be identified from it by the lack of bronze luster on the elytra and the smaller size as well as the presence of longitudinal intervals on the elytra with C. nemoralis lacks. Both species are fairly common in Alberta. Need more info....
