Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

Caught today on the mountain Hot on the south side, flew to the hot spring staphylinchik-2.5 mm long. It's a pity that taking pictures from the scanner-crushed. I plan to meet more; - therefore, could you, dear brothers in reason, determine it as much as possible?

Yeah... Subfamily Aleocharinae. This, apparently, is all that can be said about him. Or Aleocharini, or " Athetae "(I don't remember how the tribe is called correctly). I don't recall a more somber group of beetles.

for Cerambyx...
as promised, here are a few of our barbels, tell me, maybe what's wrong..
Evodinus (Brachita)...I looked and already got confused myself, where interrogatiins is, where variabilis is...where is the other that thread. there are a lot of different colors, and this is not all
1. like interrogatiins
2. these are like variabilis...
3.
4.
5.
6. here's another one

7. Xylotrechus altaicus..As I understand it..
8. Acanthocinus carinulatus male..
9. and this is not Arthopalus rusticus?? ...
10. something from Leiopus ... maybe nebulosus??
11. and here's another thing..is it Menesia sulphurata??

1-interrogationis.
2,3 - exactly variabilis. 4,5 - ? - it may turn out to be striolata, but where do the beetles come from? Please indicate at least the collection point...
6 - Very hard to see. Most likely Pachytodes erraticus bottcheri Pic 1911, less likely Judolia parallelopipeda.
7 - everything is correct.
8 - the real carinulatus.
9-rusticus.
10 - nebulosus is unlikely... Can I get a more detailed photo? Where does the bug come from?
11 - sulphurata

all evodinuses from Khakassia, on umbrella and on lobaznik. in the larch forest.
10. - again from Khakassia, near the river on poplar, in mid-July was caught.
6. - I'll try to take a better picture and then run it through the qualifiers
at home. Thank you very much!! ..I'll throw more tetropiums later, though I can't find gracilicorne and fuscim anywhere...

Salpingids-good beetles
And how did you put it together, if it's not a secret?

Salpingid can be successfully collected in winter, in the cracks of pine bark. He collected Sphaeriestes bimaculatus and Salpingus planirostris. Only they are not found on all trees, but on those, as I understand it, that are inhabited by bark beetles (I didn't find bark beetles myself, though). Usually on the same trees there were also Corticeus fraxini-also very good beetles

Who-thread will help with these beetles? USA, Missouri.

Thanks! I was interested in Sphaeriestes. Other salpingids can be collected simply on the bark. In Peterhof, I collected a lot of Rabocerus gabrieli on dried aspen trees with Exidia, and there was also one Rhinosimus ruficollis (I don't remember bark beetles on aspen trees, though). Somewhere from the end of September to the beginning of January, they crawled on the bark, since the temperature was above zero. And on the shrinking Alnus as well (also with Exidia, but also with a set of alder bark beetles), I collected Rabocerus foveolatus (+ Orthocis alni and Endomychus coccineus are also cute beetles) all autumn.

The first carabida of the genus Galerita, if I understand correctly.

Even I can't find images of this kind on the net

The first ground beetle is Galerita sp. perhaps G. janus
Here you can see the faces:

janus, as far as I can tell from the shape of the head and the dotted line. Thanks!

Thank you too!
You've got a pretty good set of salpingids, though!
I myself, for example, did not catch rabocerus at all. Now at least I'll know where to look for them
Salpingus planirostris, by the way, in addition to pines, caught on the trunk of a recently felled birch tree inhabited by Trypodendron signatum, in April it was...

and you can learn more about Corticeus darklings ...we have a large number of them can be found in the passages of bark beetles and generally under the bark..especially in the pines.. C. fraxini is the most frequent guest??...or not?...I once threw a photo, but before the species I understand this genus can not determine the photo??.is there a place where you can do this according to your thesis??
thank you in advance.

Here I show it again...if you need a different angle, then I will do

thank you in advance.

C. fraxini in my area comes across more often than other species of the genus, yes. To be honest, I don't know what the situation is with them in Siberia.
Your beetle is similar to this species, but there are several close species that are similar to each other. C. longulus is unlikely, but C. pini is your beetle. The difference lies in the shape of the pronotum, and in your photo it is just deformed, so it is difficult to say anything definite.
According to the theses of the beetle, it can even be determined by the "green" determinant - only there this genus is designated as Hypophloeus. But I am afraid that there may be some other species in Siberia that are not included in this table.
You can also drive a beetle according to the table from Nikitsky's book "Insects-predators of bark beetles and their ecology". I posted it on the ZIN website, and you can download it from there. There is a more advanced table than in green, but also only for European fauna.
And, you can also look at the table in the "DV Insect Identifier". There is also this genus there.

thank you so much!!..I just can't understand why this genus is not listed in green, now I'll try!!..and in the Far East I will look!!
if we can judge visually, there are beetles relatively large and small, maybe the species are different..

here are the color variations of evodinuses that I have. I think this is not all the forms, I didn't catch them very much, so what did I get?

I found a couple more

Yesterday I caught a weevil in the yard, I think from the genus Lixus. Similar to Lixus brevipes. And the size almost fits (mine is a little bigger). I present both for comparison:

- And here, too, yesterday in the yard from an incomprehensible family...
- The size is slightly less than a centimeter.

- And here, too, yesterday in the yard from an incomprehensible family...
- The size is slightly less than a centimeter.

Tenebrionidae, that is, the darkling.
Which one - I don't KNOW

from an obscure family

the cornice of the muzzle immediately gives out a black calf (especially now, when pollen-eaters and furry ones are piled up there)
I can't say what the family should be called after the fashion these days. Helops? Nalassus? (there was another word in the green ... -- I remember, Cylindronotus!). They hang around mainly under the lagging bark of deciduous dead wood, sometimes in large numbers; the Caucasian ones are quite difficult to identify, as long as I remember

Nalassus for sure. KDG Caucasian like a little sechet.

And what were you sitting on? If on the haze, then from the subtilis/incanescens/something else series. brevipes on clove leaves.

Nalassus brevicollis.
to Omar: I don't really "sec" them. But my friend knows them all.

Nalassus brevicollis
isn't it? not very similar

Nalassus brevicollis
isn't it? not very similar

And for me, the similarity is very significant

Dear colleagues,
I systematize the catch and ask for your help in clarifying and defining Meloe, I will be very grateful
First, I assume that M. proscarabaeus, am I right? Ukraine; Chernihiv region. Srebnyansky district, tract. Lobodernoe, 17 mm., 04.05.2008, male

And the second, I can't answer. Ukraine; Chernihiv region. Srebnyansky district, tract. Lobodernoe, 40 mm., 04.05.2008, female

Thank you all in advance.

Thank you very much, you helped me a lot!! I came out on C. fraxini, and the structure of the pronotum and the main size say about it

"Thank you for the little black thing!" - probably because of the angle, the comparative copy looks different...
- And the weevil was identified to me by Yuri Arzanov as Lixus subtilis.
- And yesterday, in the forest under Razval'ka Mountain, I caught this bystryanochka:-I think it is quite common and well-known.... "Who exactly is this, please?"

To Musson_Max
The first is proscarabaeus, the last is M. cicatricosus Leach.

Anthelephila pedestris (Rossi, 1790)

Another pterostic near Moscow, probably an Ethiopian again?
10-15 mm

This one is exactly an Ethiopian, the rounded corners of the pronotum are clearly visible.

Another pterostic near Moscow, probably an Ethiopian again?
10-15 mm

Well, someone is tired of it... And someone does not live...

Vo-vo! And we don't have any, either. I caught the only one in St. Petersburg...

Vo-vo! And we don't have them either

And this is how to say it .I think that it should be in Central Ukraine as well. In the traps goes bad, and under the bark of its shaft.

What do you think, another Tenebrionidae?
And why such a thick ass, like a pregnant leaf beetle? ;-)
Taken today in the Moscow region. I ran along the curb, despite the cold.
The size is noticeable - about 2 cm or slightly smaller.

Buttocks like a pregnant leaf beetle, because this is a pregnant leaf beetle and there is-Galeruca tanaceti. She walruses
