Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

All Lepturobosca virens have green hairs on their bellies, while this beetle has black hairs.

I apologize, most likely just a greasy belly.....

3 mm. Khakassia.

perhaps someone has literature on softwoods of the genus Rhagonycha

There was a confusion with the labels. There are three labels and two dorcadions. Help me figure out who's who.
1) Dorcadion optatum matissoni, Kyrgyzstan, southern environs of Bishkek, Chon-Aryk, 1.05.2000, leg. M. Danilevski.
2) Dorcadion taldykurganum, Kazakhstan, near the town of Taldy-Kurgan, Kyzyl-Zhar mountains, April 16, 2000, leg. M. Danilevski.
3) Dorcadion danilevskii, Kyrgyzstan, Sussamyr valley, 6th 2000, leg. M. Danilevski.

C Dorcadion without labels is not so simple, and from the photos, where some details are not visible, but I will try to assume that dor. 001 is Dorcadion (Acutodorcadion) suvorovi ssp. taldykurganum Danilevsky, 1996-very similar. only very grated. But the second Dorcadion (Acutodorcadion) danilevskyi Dolin et Ovtschinnikov, 1999-most likely, I don't have it in my collection, but I've seen a photo somewhere.

Krasnoyarsk. The beetle is 13-14 mm, there are similar beetles about 12 mm. . from Mosotalesus. Between impressus and nigricornis. The median band of the pronotum is distinct at the base of the pronotum. Pronotum is not convex when viewed from the side. Its dotted line is clear and quite thick. The elytra are extended beyond the middle, but some specimens are slightly below the size of impressus.

impressus, obviously. I don't see another one like this for Krasnoyarsk.

3 mm. Khakassia.

Hydnobius? Is Leiodes like this? I wouldn't be surprised if there's a different gender. Somewhere in this family we should look, I think. Then I pass.
Aphodius-I have no idea even. Plastinophiles are still silent

impressus, obviously. I don't see another one like this for Krasnoyarsk.

the size fits nigricornis, Cherepanovym specified for us. I looked at others, they clearly do not reach 14 mm, everything is like a selection of 12 mm, but there is a painfully clear median line on the pronotum. I gutted the male, although I think it's unlikely that the genitals will decide here, we still need to look at Gurieva.

The main doubt is that Svetlana Seredyuk identified a similar beetle to me as nigricornis, perhaps I don't see any differences, but I'm still not 100% sure.

Yes, I found it, it's Anisotoma they have the second chl. us. clubs are so tiny. I have a couple of species of them, but this is a different one, clearly not glabra, yet signed as A. castanea...

On aphodius like close podashel, however, as I was told for depressus is characterized by a shiny top nadkrlyev, mine is matte, but perhaps because of the long storage in alcohol what happened to it . BUT the subgenus is exactly Acrossus

There is also such a "miracle-yudo" that I had similar to find it now. At least the family...
Krasnoyarsk Territory, near Krasnoyarsk. Mixed forest. 2 mm. mustache filamentous, the first expanded with large either setae, or such hairs.

This is not a nigricornis. It is quite different: with red legs, the process of the pgr. is bent downwards, b. the tires are almost not narrowed outwards. In the photo, I see only the opposite . I checked with Guriev. If the genus Paraphotistus (=Mosotalesus) is defined correctly (I think yes, because I know both species), then it is an impressus (similar species are found only in Central Asia or China).

doubts were dispelled by Gurieva impressus, genitals helped!

do we now have the valid Ipidia (Ipidia) binotata Reitter, 1875 ,
quadrimaculata Quensel, 1790 reduced to synonyms? And when do they manage to do it

Thylodrias contractus, male. In my opinion to kozheedam close. I found

Thylodrias contractus, male. In my opinion to kozheedam close. I found it in the house

I've been racking my brain... But what was he doing in the forest

here's the infection, I knew about it, I still think to look in kozheedah. At work I had one, in the directory of dangerous and quarantine pests of stocks, it already jumps off at the first antithesis in its image

is this Dromius or Microlestes?
Krasnoyarsk. The claws are jagged.5 mm bolshivat for microlestes. But the posterior edges of the sides of the pronotum are clearly notched.

Hello,

can you tell me if these little softlings are cantharis fulvicollis? Photographed on June 16, 2013, approximately 80 km south of Moscow.

similar to Dromius angusticollis Sahlb.

Good evening, I ask everyone who knows to help with the definition. We were in Taba (first half of October 2013), in Egypt, on vacation. Surprisingly many insects caught my eye. Black beetles were most often noticed, crawling out of the ground, or rather out of the sand, as soon as it got dark:

The beetle is Temnorhynchus baal.

Still met some straight-winged:

It's a cricket of some sort. For a more precise definition, I advise you to post in the appropriate topic: http://molbiol.ru/forums/index.php?showtopic=133669&st=2750

How quickly you identified it! Did you know him by sight? Thanks!!!

Yes, I knew. It is a distant relative of our common rhinoceros beetle.

I spent so much time on the Internet, and I didn't find anything... And you have it in 10 minutes. It's a pity that it doesn't have a Russian name. And in English too there is no more or less reproducible name

The beetle is Temnorhynchus baal.

Better so-Temnorhynchus ? baal

Well, you know what you are, of course, but scroll through hundreds of forum pages to see a similar picture... this, in my opinion, is beyond
reality

But your selection turned out to be interesting. I can add about Temnorhynchus baal that on Egyptian websites this beetle is called a pest of strawberry plantations. And they are seriously developing biological weapons-entomopathogenic nematodes that infect the larvae of the unsuspecting Temnorhynchus baal

And there is a Russian name: temnohobotka Baal(the name of one of the Sumerian gods).
It's just that until the middle of the last century, scientists tried to additionally include significant features in the description. In addition, something "personal" was included-the names of gods, Greek or Roman heroes, rarely the names or surnames of people who wanted to perpetuate.

Well, yes, and Ornithorhynchus anatinus is a duck's bird bot
Google doesn't help some people, and you can't use an auto-translator if you don't know how. I'm sorry, but we got similar pearls in the net.

Not duck, but duck! It's really bad to use an auto-translator, you just need to learn Latin! Preferably at a university, and the basics and history of taxonomy are also there..... So that later there was no leafblocks of hamogoi and so on....

Gentlemen, really. Where did the" non-Russian " beetle get its Russian-folk name? Latin rules all over the world We have the same normal forum
Happy New Year to all! The main thing is to "step on it, but not crush it"

That's for sure, at the university you can still learn to distinguish between Latin and Greek in Latin transliteration...
Down with the leafblocks of hamogoi and the dark-robed Baal...
Happy New Year

"Where did the" non-Russian " beetle get its Russian-folk name?" This would be quite possible if the generic name had a Russian counterpart. For example, if we had a common Cloven-hoofed animal, and they had Parnokopytonos Baal.
T. e. if Temnorhynchus baal had a relative within the genus in Russia, then the generic "Russian-folk name" would be provided for it...
Or are there no such" transnational " genera?

Happy New Year to you!

About Baal-interesting. I immediately remembered Ixora with a similar origin, however, already generic name

There are such kinds.
It so happened that initially there was no need for Russian names for most insects, they made do with nomenclature names in Latin. But later (under the USSR) it was accepted to indicate the Russian name in educational and popular science publications, so the names of pests, heroes of Red and popular science books appeared, and the rest remained without Russian names. Most insects are not of interest to the general public and naturally the public does not care what they are called, and most of those who do not care quite manage with Latin.
If you want a Russian name, you can call the rhino Baal. IMHO, darrinh Baal, will be more adequate.

P.S. the Russian-folk name and the Russian name are quite often completely different things

Well, to be even more precise, Russian names were used in three cases: popular science and educational literature (this also includes literature describing pests, useful and other insects that a person encounters involuntarily or just very often). the second case - historical names like honey bee, in the third case, or rather in other cases, direct transcription is used, without attempts to translate from Latin or "transcription from Greek" or any other language-the word khamogoi is a well-known obscene term in Mongolian . This type also includes names associated with proper names, surnames, or geographical names ( for example, tsipreya Maria or tsipreya hinu-hinu is the first name, as it is clear, and the second name is the name of an atoll in Hawaii). The most common mistakes in writing transcriptions are" cutting " endings. It can lead to a completely different animal. Something like this!

Happy New Year!

I, as a native "Tatar-Mongol", don't care about Khamogoi, except for the Ulaanbaatar Mongols (and then only those who were in the topic), apparently no one appreciated this joke of humor (by the way, some people live with this surname and don't even know that the Mongols are being bullied over them).
Don't confuse transcription and transliteration.
With" cropped "endings in Russian, the wasp-polist, dung-geotrup, analysis, nerve, organ, skeleton, a huge number of chemical compounds and diseases, and other living organisms, their parts and special terms quite well" live". They don't care about the animal drives.
Only not tsipreya Maria, but tsipreya Maria, and it seems that she is no longer tsipreya, but annepona. And hinukhin probably has a secret atoll.
Temnorhynchus is a creepy machine translation cadaver, Temnorhynchus has nothing to do with dark proboscis.
Learn matchmaking.
