Melolontha melolontha in Russia

If I didn't make a mistake with the definition, then in Flax. There are areas.

What are the exact locations in the Leningrad region?

They caught me a copper Factory near the village... I don't remember the area from memory, but I'll look at the label at home.

I very much suspect that this is Melolontha melolontha:
  
Central Chernozem Nature Reserve, uch
. Streletskaya Steppe, Kursk region; 9.05.2008. I took a couple just in case

Yes, this is it. in our region, the view is not just ordinary, but VERY ordinary

In Mordovia, it is also quite common...

In Mordovia - vostochny!!!!

In the south of the Pskov region in the Opochkinsky district, I found a large cluster on a willow tree along the E95 highway (St. Petersburg-Kiev) on June 13 and 15, 2008, with males three times more than females, I also saw in the Pustoshinsky district on June 13, 2008 on a vine.
In Belarus, near Mogilev, I also found a large number of these beetles on a maple tree and 1 on a birch tree on 14.06.08.
Previously, I found them together with the eastern crunch in the Anreapolsky district of the Tver region, also in a large number in June-July, but mostly females. There they preferred young vines and willow-tea.
In 2003, I found 2 females in the Smolensk region. near Velizh along the route also on the vine in early June.
Only M. hippocastani was found in the Leningrad region.
I also found Western Khrushchs in Poland, both in the west and in the east, in a huge number.
And in the west of Germany, I found just a giant cluster of semi-and completely dead "hippocastani" in early June, almost all males.
That's all, perhaps.

In general, I haven't caught crunches for a long time. Finally got lucky this year

Is there a western May beetle in the Smolensk region???

Да

In Tsurikov's Beetles of the Lipetsk region, both species have approximately the same number of specimens. given; in the Tambov region, I caught only the eastern one-everywhere and a lot, the western one I saw in the collection-one male-I can't say for sure, but they claimed that it was from the Tambov region.

I caught it in April in the Belgorod region; apparently, it is quite common there.
