Please help me identify it!
Crimea, Tarkhankut, early June

Blaps lethifera

Barbel Ropalopus clavipes
2 different copra: above the female Copris hispanus and below the male C. lunaris
Cetonia aurata almost certainly
Gymnopleurus mopsus the keel is

visible on the lateral surface of the sternites of the abdomen in the notch of the elytra
of Perotis lugubris

Nutcracker I don't know them

Zabrus tenebrioides female
Carterus dama ? no, Ditomus calydonius, the horn is flattened from the sides is visible like?
In general, for a more reliable definition, it would be desirable, in addition to artistic photos from all sorts of spectacular angles, to take technical photos from the same instance, at least directly from above, and if possible also the head in front, the bottom of the body and from the side. This, as well as specifying the size, greatly simplifies further determination. You can even not upload artistic photos

on Acinopus ammophilus, in my opinion, is more similar

Exactly so, it is. And then, I think, something the back edge of the pronotum is not shagged. I forgot all about it.

For Tarkhankut, this type has not yet been specified.

It is found on the Kerch Peninsula and in general from Moldova to the Volga in this zone, the species is psammophilic xerophytic-steppe, which would not be the case. It's just that it's usually small in number and relatively rare everywhere, so it might not have been registered. In Kalmykia, in glasses in June, 1 specimen/100 catch-day.
Lyrical addition: and this is still a lot, I then took 3exs of this species and all sorts of such things for several for 300 catch-days, and then in the Rostov region. we met with Rostov entomologists, from a local peda, it seems, and I foolishly complained about the scarcity of fees, so they already turned green and reported in a soft form, that's a good thing for fools, and they worked several thousand trap days on Manycha for three years, so A. ammophilus was only one caught. But, I think, they just put the wrong glasses, I spied, only 180 milliliters, who puts such things

Is it like Lampyris noctiluca? I decided to ask again as I have never collected males. Yes, these did not glow in the dark at all....
The beetle is 11 mm long. Collected the series at night from 17 to 18. 06.2015. Here: Russia, Vladimir region, Petushinsky district, district, village. Starye Omutischi, the edge of the upper swamp in a pine forest, into the light.

He.We have in the second half of June, too, in the mass flies to the light. Although it generally flies very poorly. And it doesn't glow, but it should. I've seen glowing females a couple of times, but not males.
"Today I will go to the night to shine "in the fields" at my points in the Vladimir region, and where there are both species (both Danosoma collected there, as you know) wink.gif I don
't promise, but maybe smile will be lucky again.gif"
Where is the report???

The answer is sad: I didn't collect any of the beetles except for these fireflies

, I arrived there, lit them, and an hour later-a powerful downpour.... And the scales sovse managed to collect a little. Something like that.... shitty trip: just soaked to the skin and the campaign caught a cold. But I had my hopes...
I don't write reports right now: it's not easy to get to them. I try to post some of my findings here, in the topics.
