Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

CRW_5032.jpg - Ophonus sp. Maybe O. diffinis Dej?

Oop-pah! CRW_4956-then Staphylinus dimidiaticornis Gemm. (if his temples are covered in black hairs)

CRW_5047.jpg " Mycetophagidae, I think.

Arthur, Fornax has already written two blue staphylins on my website...

CRW_5047.jpg " Mycetophagidae, I think."

yes, and this one is also CRW_5059,when I caught them , I already knew what kind of family it was.just maybe there are other subspecies and species in the Crimea.

This is not by chance the endangered Oreina viridis (Duftschmidt, 1825)?
11mm.subalpine of the Carpathians, on the rocks.

And O. azureus F. can't be? The dimensions are not specified, otherwise, in my opinion, it is quite...

Apparently rare and endangered Brachycerus sinuatus (Olivier, 1807)

Yes, it is, oh there is a subspecies, and in Ukraine we have three types of them or subspecies, voolbschem three differences.

CRW_50960
Sphenophorus abbreviatus

CRW_5051 would look from the side, not quite clear, like Anisandrus sp (female)

Cassida, was caught near the river. 6 mm. The rows of dots are quite confused. The forehead is red, broad, with rather deep points. The bottom is black, the side border of the abdomen is red. The legs are yellow. The top is brown-red. The front corners of the elytra protrude quite far forward. On the elytra 2-3 faintly pronounced ribs. The front narrow margin of the elytra is black. Pronotum is unevenly and roughly dotted. The bent edge of the nadkr. also in rough spots. Upper lip with a small but distinct notch.

Well you give it
to Baris sp.

What's wrong with Hypocassida subferruginea?

What's wrong with Hypocassida subferruginea?

Exactly nothing

Well you give it
to Baris sp.

Why do his elytra look so much like this one
http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/coleoptera/rus/sphabbkm.htm

What's wrong with Hypocassida subferruginea?

Alexey I can't understand, but Cassida ferruginea Fabricius, 1781 is it a synonym or something*?? It's just that I didn't find such a look in Medvedev and in green. It's similar in name to the zin. Cassida ferruginea seems to have written that the forehead should be black, and the base of the thighs for it seems to be black.

Is it C. pallidicornis? 6 mm ribs are clearly visible, especially at the 2nd gap. Legs yellow, base of thighs black

Cassida 5 mm. The lateral edge of the elytra is not bent. The bottom is black, the lateral border of the abdomen is yellow. Pronotum with small dots. The legs are yellow. The fresh beetle had a light stripe on its elytra.
As a variant of C. vittata

Cassida 4.5 mm. The side edges are not bent. Elytra with regular rows of dots. The forehead is yellow, the underparts are black, except for the lateral border of the abdomen. The legs are light with slight narrow darkening in the middle of the thighs. The dots on the forehead and pronotum are quite large.
Alternatively, use C. vittata

No. In green, it is as hypocassid.

No. In green, it is as hypocassid.

all figured out...I even looked at the wrong genus, I just immediately began to dig into the cassids, without double-checking the generic affiliation
Spasibo

Is the prothorax different from the cassidal one?
The next one seems to be her too.

4-9. 05. 10, okr. s. Lugovskoe, mowing, length 2,3 mm (without gtrb.))

I think it's something from Curculio...

So I wrote that "Curculio" is probably still something from Archarius

Or maybe this is Archarius salicivorus? http://www.micropics.org.uk/Curculionidae/...salicivorus.htm

I'll look at it thoroughly again at work...and about the prothorax, too.
just the next one is different from the previous one, this is for sure, and according to Medvedev, this view, which he pointed out, looks pretty good

If on the left is a male Hydaticus aruspex (looks like?), then who is on the right?? (if female, then confused by the drawing on the sp. and "claws") PLZ. Both - Novosibirsk, 16.05.10. caught, almost, with one" pass " of the net.

Carabus (Carabus) granulatus Linnaeus, 1758

On the left is a male Hydaticus, possibly even transversalis Pontoppidan, 1763. It differs from aruspex in the shape of the male's front claws. On the right, too, hydaticus is a female, but of a different species, I can't say which. In general, when collecting water beetles, it is not uncommon to come across two or three similar species at the same time.

Tell me, PLZ. Novosibirsk, 16.05.10.1
- Colymbetes paykulli ?
2 - ?

Yes, the first paykulli. The second Agabus sp. I don't know them very well, and I can't identify them from their photos.

CRW_5022 - some Nalassus

Can you tell me a ladybug? MO 20.05.2010.

well, judging by the very first one, then there are distinct grooves on the sides of the prothorax, for inserting antennae, and in other ways it looks like Hypocassida,
but the next one is more difficult, there are also such grooves, but less pronounced. And for Hypocassida, only one species is given, and these specimens differ, even to the naked eye.
Alexey, can you tell me a link that can be used to identify Byrrhus pills by Aedeagus? There are males, but there is nothing to compare it with. So they are not actually distinguishable. Ran through the DV, not bad, but still for comparison that thread. In the fauna of the USSR can...I would like to have literally photos of genitals with the names of the species. I can drop their photos here tomorrow.
And yet, the Cytilus sericeus species can be without a green tint???? And then I have one such beetle caught. Everything is the same, like the drawing is there (checkerboard), and the color is dark, bronzey

Maybe it's Anatis ocellata

Hypokassida is very variable. I'd call the other one that, too. And if the pgr. differs from the pgr.of the real cassida, then all the same hypokassida, we must assume.
Link-alas, I can't tell you, I don't know. In the Net, like walking guides on the fauna of Poland (Klucze Do Oznaczania Owadów Polski series), there are drawings, including genitals. If you don't find it, I'll send it by mail.
Cytilus sericeus - often bronze happens. Birrids are generally variable in color.
