Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

And here, - what kind of zhuzhelichka? - I saw a lot during a storm on a concrete barrier on the beach in Dagomys in the second half of September. The length is approximately 5 mm.
"It's like An Antia in miniature!"

It looks like B. (s. str.) quadripustulatum Audinet-Serville, 1821, or indeed something from Neph. In the latter cases, the point series is usually very smoothed out and almost invisible. In quadripustulatum, they are distinct.

I think it's 5mm. too much for a quadripustulatum.

Yes, I think that trying to determine bembia from a photo is generally a dead number. For me, he looks like a Neph, and there who knows...

I think it's 5mm. too much for a quadripustulatum.

Yes, and for the Neph 5 mm - too much Still, the size for them should be specified more precisely. As it is, his legs are very dark, and that's what confuses me. I don't think there are many dark-legged bambi with this color.
From subg. Nepha for Russia includes:
B. (N.) menetriesi Kol., 1845-with a red sash on the
ndcr. B. (N.) caucasicum Motsch., 1844 and B. (N.) seriatum Motsch., 1844 - without spots at all.
Such chetyrehpyatnistye:
At B. (N.) tetrasemum Chaud., 1846 osn. mustache and legs are light.
B. (N.) illigeri Net., 1914 and B. (N.) glabrum Motsch., 1850 have brownish-yellow tibiae with darkening only at the apex.
B. (N.) tetragrammum Chaud., 1846-the tibiae are almost black, slightly lightened at the base. Here, by the way, as an option
Although bambi is not the right group to treat them like this, so maybe I was overreacting with this "analysis"

Bembidion 13. quadriduttatum, 14. quadripustulatum... "I don't understand... "who does he look like?" ... - "Dark Forest"...

Who knows? I'd like to see the sculpture on your bug. In Reitter's case, "quadriguttatum" is probably Bembidion (Neph) illigeri Netolitzky 1914 (or as a subspecies: B. (N.) tetragrammus illigeri Netolitzky, 1914) = Bembidion quadriguttatum (Illiger, 1798), since B. quadriguttatum Audinet - Serville, 1821 and B. quadriguttatum (Fabricius, 1775) - Synonyms are Bembidion (s. str.) quadrimaculatum (Linnaeus 1761), and Bembidion (Neph) schmidti subcallosus (Wollaston, 1864) (=B. quadriguttatum Brullé, 1839) does not reach Germany. Tinplate, in general, in bambi with synonymy

Yes, Fornax13 is right, in order to say something more accurately, you need to look at the sculpture of elytra. And the best determinant for them is probably Die Kafer Mitteleuropas, Band 2, Adephaga 1. And all the synonymy there corresponds to the catalog of Palearctic beetles. From a more accessible literature - I successfully determined by Isaev.
Although, of course, if this is some kind of Caucasian species, then these determinants will not help. Then, probably, we need the publications of Fritz Netolitsky. Well, or to Belousov right away)))
Andreas, did you collect these beetles? Is it possible to take more photos?

- There are men-collected! "I'll take pictures of the corpses!" In addition, I can send copies - no problem. And then this little pot-bellied thing turned me on not in a childish way! - I love small ground beetles from childhood!

Take photos. We will wait))) I love bambis too)

help with the bug please ....I realized that this mustache and all..

If you define this beetle as a barbel, you will have to describe at least a new subfamily for it, although it looks very similar. This is a narrow-winged Oedemeridae-Calopus serraticornis L.

well, I was in a hurry with the last phrase, of course, there is simply no binocular at hand, so it seemed from the appearance..can you tell me how this species is widely distributed??

It is widely distributed, from Europe to Transbaikalia in the east, develops in rotten coniferous wood (in" green " it is indicated, in my opinion, for pine).

as far as I know, the bug is not frequent... ?7

I caught this handsome guy in Krasnoyarsk, although we don't have any oaks here at all

wow! Not weak you have it to the West skidded! Since we are talking about oaks, I understand that there are already guesses about belonging to the species Plagionotus pulcher Blessig, 1872? So here it is!

yes it is!!..it was possible to finish off the larvae to the genus, then to finish off the imago!! imported oak from the Far East was

I understand this is Cerambyx cerdo???

I take it this is Cerambyx cerdo???

Yeah, that's it. Where does the bug come from?

Yeah, that's it. Where does the bug come from?

this is a gift from somewhere in the Crimea...just not a familiar person for our region

Yenisetsky district, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russian Federation. Nazimovo
1. some Callidium...maybe chloricans or cariaceum??..


2. Khakassia steppe tell me what kind of Eudorcadion it is...

If Crimean-Cerambyx cerdo acuminatus Motsch.

2. Khakassia steppe tell me what kind of Eudorcadion it is...

1-Yes, this is Callidium (Palaeocallidium). Since chlorizans is now considered a synonym for coriaceum, you have coriaceum .

2 - Eodorcadion carinatum carinatum or E. carinatum blessigi (you can't tell without a more precise collection point).

1-Yes, this is Callidium (Palaeocallidium). Since chlorizans is now considered a synonym for coriaceum, you have coriaceum .

2 - Eodorcadion carinatum carinatum or E. carinatum blessigi (you can't tell without a more precise collection point).

I just have a dispute between these two species!! eudorkadions...these beetles are quite common in Khakassia, south of Lake Baikal.Shira to the foothills of the Kuznetsk Alatau(steppe, often on grasses or in grass near roads)

And about callidium thank you, and then there were also disagreements, it turned out to be the same thing))

"Here's the same Bombidion as promised. I scanned it for the first time in my life at 4800; and I am completely disappointed and not satisfied with the result compared to Berlov.
Dagomys (Sochi) 20.09.08, day, concrete barrier of the beach during a storm. And its size is not 5 mm, as I wrote out of fishing habit, but 3 mm!
+ staphylins from the same place-6mm and 8mm.

I picked up all sorts of ground beetles in the gnilushki near Moscow just now. I'd appreciate it!

1. Small bug, 5-7 mm
Dromius sp.?



2. 8-10 mm, similar to Pterostichus sp.

To Andreas: Bembidion is indeed very similar to Bembidion (s. str.) quadripustulatum (Audinet-Serville, 1821)

That is, Double A: the first is Oxypselaphus obscurus (Herbst 1784), and the second is Adopimus sp.

(for Buzman) -
1. Small bug, 5-7 mm
Dromius sp.?

- Can it be useful?...:
"There are at least 10 species of the genus Dromius in Europe. Some of them have only the seventh interval of elytra with a number of bristle-bearing pores, and the third with only one pore near the top."

Then Eo. carinatum carinatum.

To Andreas: Duc still isn't Dromius, it's Oxypselaphus

For staphylinov - "Big Rakhmat"; "and this quadripustulatum has several other species of this genus that are offensively similar!" "Let Fornax, Alex, and Anteranus do some more fishing)

"Hey, man! - It's me who takes the Double, not Buzman!

Is this a Limodromus assimilis?

Yeah, that's it. Only it is more commonly called Platynus assimilis

The photo, of course, is not the best, but the other one did not work out This pterostichus? 15 mm approximately.

It seems to be, but the angle is not very good, it's hard to say. It is similar to Pterostichus (Steropus) aethiops (Panzer, 1797).

Dagomys (Sochi) 20.09.08, day, concrete barrier of the beach during a storm. And its size is not 5 mm, as I wrote out of fishing habit, but 3 mm!

Bambi, I would say, is still B. (s. str.) quadripustulatum (Audinet-Serville, 1821). The naves are larger and more slender or something... B. quadripustulatum in the south is quite a frequent species, and I think he doesn't care where to live.
Staf (8 mm) - probably Cafius (s. str.) xantholoma (Gravenhorst, 1806). I've never seen it before.
6 mm-I suspect that Remus filum (Kiesenwetter, 1849) (which is more likely) or R. sericeus Holme, 1837. But it's a poke method anyway
And so-both genera are characteristic inhabitants of sea coasts.

I've just figured out what it is ... does this "bembidion" have truncated elytra?? And where are the frontal grooves? And why are the eyes small?
I'm messing up, though
Now I suspect that it is Lionychus quadrillum (Duftschmid, 1812). Such could be taken

- Hey , - and they are among themselves (I collected 20 pieces) so different in the picture!
- Let me send you the last remaining 2 pieces from the distribution for the sake of principle!?

And they are very variable-up to the complete disappearance of spots. I don't mind
