Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

please help me determine if all the animals were photographed in the Amur region.

DPP_8.JPG — Lamia textor
DPP_777.JPG — Dendroxena sexcarinata

please help me determine if all the animals were photographed in the Amur region.

DPP_7747 Compsapoderus erythropterus или Leptapoderus rubidus (Attelabidae). You can't tell from this angle. The size (the first one is smaller) or other photos would help.

please help me determine if all the animals were photographed in the Amur region.

Leptapoderus rubidus (in male erythropterus, the occipital part of the head is swollen)

Eodorcadion humerale

Tell me pozh-ta this is white Crunch (Lat. Polyphylla alba)
Tatarstan, Muslyumovsky district July 2016

A few years ago, I unsuccessfully exhibited this beast. It has only been suggested that it is Lasiostola seminuda. Maybe someone will already know?
I found a description of the species from Medvedev (Determinant of Black-bodied beetles, 1985), but I didn't find any strong signs. There are no images in the network.
Tajikistan, Khoja-Mumin Mountain, May 2012. 13 mm.

Are you sure that this blackling has already been described? Personally, I don't think so.

And you have no other options.

It is hard to imagine that such a large beetle is not described. Zubov caught them, and several people in Moscow definitely have it. It seems that in Russia there is someone to describe. Maybe it just didn't reach the publication stage?
Still, it would be interesting to look at the photo of Lasiostola seminuda itself.

Good afternoon! Please tell me, is this a grinder? If so, which one?

Thank you, I wanted to make sure 100 %.
Tatarstan is included in the distribution area of this beetle?

Deserts, steppes, forest-steppes and semi-deserts on sandy soil, including sands of coastal terraces in the valleys of large rivers in the south of central Russia. Tatarstan fits in perfectly, but I don't know about official instructions.

grinder, Genus Ptilinus, species most likely P. fuscus Develops in dead roadsides and dead trunks/branches of poplars (including aspen) and willows.

Tell me, what kind of bug? Kursk region.

maybe a second Clytus raddensis?

maybe a second Clytus raddensis?

It's hard to say. Even taking into account the fact that this is probably a color aberrant - there are no shoulder and middle bandages, the shield is blackened - the posterior band seems not oblique, as in C. raddensis, but strictly transverse, the seam is not expanded, but, on the contrary, expanded on the outer edges of the ndkr, which I have never seen in them at all. Prsp is almost square (or barely longitudinal), without light hairs, its side edges are evenly and strongly rounded and do not parallel each other in the widest possible place. Ndkrs are also without long pubescence, sometimes glossy, the microstructure is not visible, they are cut off obliquely at the tops; the corners are rounded, without spines. The hind thighs are significantly shorter than the hip joint; the lower legs are noticeably longer than the thighs. Many signs are not visible. Most of this and its overall baldness is more similar to C. arietoides Reitter 1899; if the baldness is acquired, then there is also a variant of C. nigritulus Kraatz, 1879. But in general, the situation with DV clitus is very murky; several other taxa were described, which were reduced to synonyms by M. D. Danilevsky in 1997 in one paragraph. I'd like to show it to a specialist.

Leptapoderus rubidus (in male erythropterus, the occipital part of the head is swollen)

Why do you think it's a male? I think it's a female. And it sits on a bag, I think that it is of its own kind, if not even its own. And this is not a willow, on which L. rubidus mainly lives, but C. erythropterus can just be. The Prsp is transverse in appearance, which also indicates Compsapoderus. But from this angle, I definitely can't judge.

It has a long, conical head in profile. I have a series of both, just put it in a similar angle and watched it. In both females and males of erythropterus,the occiput is swollen
and strongly convex in the posterior part. In rubidus, the head is longer and sexual dimorphism is observed in this respect. It is also observed in our other " apoderuses "(A. coryli, L. carbonicolor), even if we do not take into account the "long-necked" species.
So, with a long head without a swollen nape, this is a male. But what he sits on and why - here I have no confidence To go on packages males have every right. As well as sitting on them alone.

He's just bald. I suspect that it is not small, like most nigritulus. It's a good idea to specify the size, it often helps. Both raddensis and nigritulus (in the bald version) retain long hairs sticking out in different directions on their legs. And the legs are dark. In arietoides, the hairs on the hind thighs stick out along the lower edge. The legs are yellowish-brown. I'm all for bald arietoides, but he's a bit weird, yes. For example, the preserved sling looks expanded at the lateral edge of the elytra, which is not typical for most of our clitinas in general.

This is Gonioctena. They are so variable in color that even our species is better identified by the genitals of males. From the photo, knowing the local fauna, you can minimize the number of options, but it's not particularly grateful.

That's exactly what we'll do. Just take a photo from a specialist

The size is slightly longer than arietoides, and the latter was repeatedly caught in the same place on the same day and looks typical.

I almost turned the Ter-Minasyan determinant inside out and the genus and species are not defined

Not... Identify Central Asian Lixinae from photos... Sorry, I'll pass right away.

The photo seems to be someone from Mecaspis

Ilya how are things going with Cyphocleonus achates? Which photo Boris Loboda showed you?How rare is it? I collected 12 pieces yesterday and released them, all of them were lost, I should have caught them a month ago or earlier...

Ilya, I'd like a tip-off.... there is a problem with the beetle it is not clear at all whether it belongs to cleonines. The head tube is short with a strange sculpture. There is a deep transverse groove in front of the head. The head is very similar to the head of Deracanthus as well (which I have).
I'll take a look at Mecaspis, but the body shape is not similar from the photos (which are on the Internet)...
I have a feeling that this particular beetle is not in the Cleonine determinant

This is a lixin with no options. Try to run Ter-Minasyan using the caller ID. I went to mekaspis, and there are a lot of them in Wed. Asia. Like liksusov with a picture like this should not be, but you can also take a look at them just in case. It is quite possible that Ter-Minasyan does not have it, because the determinant is already very outdated...
