Anchomenus dorsalis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Platyninae. It is found in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. [1]
This beetle is bright green-blue and red-brown in color. [2] The adults are 5.6–7.7 mm long, with females larger than males. [3] [4]
This beetle forms aggregations of several individuals, often with beetles of the genus Brachinus . [2] When disturbed it releases a volatile that contains undecane. [2] Its coloration may be aposematic mimicry of the similarly colored Brachinus beetles it lives with, which emit a much more powerful antipredator volatile mix. [5]
