I caught quite peculiar Purpuricenus in Mugla (near Marmaris) last may.
It`s small male (12 mm), without erect setae on pronotal disc and with high degree of black pattern. Apparently it must be a P. intescapillatus nudicollis Demelt, 1968

SW Turkey, Mugla prov.,
Marmaris distr.,Ichmeler env.

Hi Max, for me it is Purpuricenus interscapillatus ssp. nudicollis Demelt, 1968. It is unusual for the large extension of the black color.

Thanks! I had no other idea too. This beetle really some strange, small and melanistic.
