Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

The spots on the sides are thicker and coarser. Almost the same points are located in a group on the pronotum disc, whereas in the previous specimen the disc was glabrous. But I think this can be attributed to polymorphism of this type. In any case, a search on the Internet showed that the weather is very different. So this is it.

no, it's definitely Scolytus, like a variant of S. ratzeburgi Jans. if there is a beetle, look, there are button-shaped elevations on the sternites, and it would be desirable to take a photo from below...I think the picture will be more clear.
Here it is important to know what else is caught or what station... this scolitus lives under the bark of a birch tree, so it is birch  

I flew to the light and flew away safely Poking around in Scolytus, but without the beetle, it seems, without a chance...

I will choose S. ratzeburgi Jans, dotted pronotum and elytra, color....yes, better with bug

2DoubleA: Scolytus is not necessarily ratzeburgi Jans... Elm sapwoods are widely distributed in Moscow: S. scolytus; S. multistriatus; S. sulcifrons... Therefore, in the absence of a beetle-an exact definition is impossible!

just assumed based on their fees. I also spoke about the need for more detailed information.

Maybe someone will help to establish the type of this crunch, brought from Turkey.
Capture dapa in the file name.

Now the nutcracker MO, mid-June

Could it be Hemicrepidius hirtus, the pronotum seems to be different from that of niger?

?lateralis

picta

According to the click, I think that this is still Hemicrepidius hirtus, although I would like to see the photo from above and find out the dimensions.







What is the current fashion for yellow labels ????=))
It looks cool.

Everything seems like Hemicrepidius niger, but the pronotum is confusing. The species are very similar to each other, it's hard to say for sure. For an unambiguous definition, you need to turn the specimen in your hands, with a microscope, and the 12th volume of the Fauna of the USSR (issue 4) .

The 12th volume of Fauna of the USSR (issue 4) does not contain the genus Hemicrepidius.
It's even a different subfamily.

I already wrote about this - a personal quirk for the convenience of work
, but what about the beetles?
or by what book they can be identified, it is better for all Kazakhstan beetles, otherwise I still have Blaps from there "hung"

the photos are not mine, so please excuse the quality. please help with the definition.
All photos were taken in Georgia.

1) Capnodis cariosa?


2) Someone from Purpuricenus?


3) chrisomelidae


4) bronzovka


5) male polyphagi...?


thank you in advance.

not a bug. one of the cicadas?

2) Yes, Purpuricenus sp.
3) Cryptocephalus sericeus
4) Cetonia aurata
Something with the numbering of the photo You messed up. Following the cockroach (and before the cicada) - Clytra laeviuscula

on the 3rd I have doubts, there should be a lot of such green ones, the main signs pointing to Cryptocephalus sericeus are not visible

2) Yes, Purpuricenus sp.

Yes, I fixed it
Thank you

I'm worse than zero in them =)) You can try to identify coleoptera DV. And there is no fauna of the USSR on them???, if there is, you can see it there. Yes, and there is also a good site about ground beetles where you can determine by photos. (sorry I don't remember the address, but you can see it on the net)

according to the DV determinant, they are still in no way. a lot of people are tormenting these (beetles) poor fellows, but no one can determine in the definition of Karabusov hung up-for 2 days without an answer

On the left presumably Menecleonus anxius (18 mm). Same view on the right? If not, please help me determine it.

I think you are right, both beetles are Menecleonus anxius, in any case, the left one is exactly right!

Heliocopris anadematus (Gillet, 1908)

1-how does it differ?
2-can someone tell me if there are males of fossor without punctuation of the pronotum?

To Alexey Vishnyakov:
The one on the left looks more like a battered Leucochromus imperialis. The right one seems to be similar to Menecleonus, but I'm not sure..

To AGG:
Brachinuses are the same-B. hamatus in
the first photo is one Cymindis ?lineata and a pair of C. decora
Lateralis and picta seem to be correct, but I'm not sure about the first one.

1-how does it differ?

Depends on what

Thank you for identifying the ground beetle, it doesn't have a Russian name? I just met similar ones in the literature, but I don't remember the name, emerald or something...
Sledueshego I, too, then staphylin from Karelia will throw .
[attachmentid()=104236]

About the last staphylinid, I'm afraid to make a mistake, but maybe Othius punctulatus

Hello!
I'm already answering a little late, but I couldn't do it earlier because I was in the hospital and didn't have access to a computer.
I apologize for the terrible quality of the photo, I was in a hurry to mix up the photo.
I provide a better option:

You may be able to dispel your doubts.

Thank you all for your answers about the ground beetle Carabus nemoralis, I looked for it in the book with Karelian insects, where it is named as a Garden ground beetle. However, the Forest ground beetle is also there, only its Latin name is Carabus arcensis.
I looked up this species on the Internet - C. arcensis, it is named as a Field Ground beetle.
In general, it is really difficult to understand. So for one type ( Latin name ) corresponds to several Russian names, and vice versa to one Russian several (Well, at least two) Latin names. Some Russian names have become obsolete over time, changed, and changed to a different type.
I agree, with Latin, of course, much easier.

To Arikain:
Othius punctulatus without variants. The closest large species of this genus live in the Caucasus.

For Adetkov: The first bronze and the third bronze were determined correctly, and the second was Potosia cuprina.

to AGG^ the first two ground beetles are sort of like Pseudotaphoxenus. To determine the genitals there, you need to pull and blow.
