These two subspecies belong to the species Calosoma alternans:
Calosoma is a genus of large ground beetles that occur primarily throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and are referred to as caterpillar hunters or caterpillar searchers. Many of the 167 species are largely or entirely black, but some have bright metallic coloration. They produce a foul-smelling spray from glands near the tip of the abdomen. They are recognizable due to their large thorax, which is almost the size of their abdomen and much wider than their head.

Calosoma elegans is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
Carabinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are about 10 genera and more than 1,400 described species in Carabinae. The Carabinea include 2 tribes, the Cychrini Laporte, 1834 and Carabini Latreille, 1802.
