Yuri, now everything is clear - everything is visible in the second picture! The matter is settled!

Eugene! I usually don't identify beetles. I send them to A. Lobanov for example. Here is the top and bottom http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/rus/seme2013.htm
The species is not indicated on the website. I don’t remember where the definition of the species came from now. Evgeniy, follow the link, maybe the 2 pictures will clarify something. Of course, it's possible to try to get through the mail and try to find the author of the definition, but I would rather not to to do that.

Yuri! Are there any basis for accurately identifying this specimen? I don't see in the picture any obvious characteristics that allow to distinguish it from 3-4 relative specimens.
