10. And this one is also Anthidium manicatum? There are no yellow spots on the prsp like the others

Very similar (in color) to that. But in general, you should see what they have there with the top of the abdomen, maybe A. cingulatum or A. septemspinosum.

But No. 6, if you'll excuse me, is more like A. florentinum, more like it in color. At first, I assumed that A. florentinum is slightly larger than I. laterale, and A. manicatum is noticeably smaller (and according to your description, No. 7 is one and a half times larger than No. 6), but who knows, maybe it's just underdone...
There are pictures - http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id70740/ but the specimens from Russia are colored a little differently. The main thing there is their "ass".

Thank you very much! I now realized that there were probably two species flying on that lawn - A. manicatum and A. florentinum. And mostly they were A. manicatum, so it occurred to me that they were small, about 10 mm. And No. 6 may not have been small, but larger than the others - I just forgot. You see, when a lot of similarly colored bees fly in one place, you immediately assume that they are all of the same species, despite the fact that some are noticeably larger than others. You think-probably it's the females, and those males - because you can't see the legs there with your eyes. Especially since the bees are rushing from flower to flower like crazy!

Mostly there were such, probably A. manicatum? Unfortunately, the tip of the abdomen is not visible to anyone.

No, this is not Sceliphron curvatum, as you have in the photo.
In our Kharkiv region, I collected 3 species: Sceliphron curvatum, Sceliphron destillatorium and Sceliphron sp. - it is exactly like your photo, it is smaller in size than the first two...
Another 4th species I collected in the Kherson region, on the coast of Pogozh on Sceliphron destillatorium, but clearly a different species!Unfortunately, I can't send you a photo of the latter right now...And the one that you photographed, next year I will catch a series (such as the same)...

That's right, it's a Sceliphron deforme, albeit a melanized form. Usually it also has faint light edges on the tergites of the abdomen.
And on the Black Sea coast, you could see Sceliphron caementarium-an American introduced by the troops first to France, and then spread east across the Mediterranean and beyond.

About 8 mm. The body is dark, without a yellow pattern. Pygidium narrowed laterally, at the base with an elevation and a weak keel.
Pronotum without sharp edges and edges. There is a pre-orthodox bump. The median field of the intermediate segment is smooth and relatively shiny, bounded by a clear groove. On the sides there is a narrow groove, on the top there are large cells. From the bottom to about half of the side parts are separated by fairly well-developed keels.
The mandibles are 3-toothed. The apex of the platypus is almost straight, with a small paired bump in the middle. The scapus is narrowed in front, but without a clear sharp edge. The keel on the back surface of the head from below does not protrude in the form of a small denticle.
The hind legs are slightly thickened towards the apex with denticles.
I think either Crossocerus leucostoma or heideni female
