Here is such a thing on the light flew.
I take it this is Adalia decempunctata?

yes, it looks very much like an under-colored individual of one common form A. decempunctata

I sort through old photos.
The photos suck, but I'd like to identify my friends if possible.

Yes, nigricans. And who else with such coloring and pubescence can be?

Sorry about that!
1-16mm.
2-10mm.
3-12mm.
4 - 6.5 mm.

To Fornax13: Thank you.

As I understand it, these are all comrades from Bledius . Is there anything else you can say about them from such lame photos?

1-16mm.
2-10mm.
3-12mm.
4 - 6.5 mm.

1-really 16? then look at the tops of the front shins - can hirtipes be like this?
2-I would say rubripes
3 - maybe also rubripes
4-Nalassus brevicollis, presumably

1-3-yes, of course
4-up to the genus is possible-tachyporus. it is impossible to get to the view from the photo, although with a high probability it is nitidulus
5 - well, yes, bledius from some ordinary Bargus/Hesperophilus. you shouldn't even try using photos.
Velleius dilatatus - he, my dear. Only Velleius like right now goes as a subgenus in Quedius

6,7,8,10,11 - rather B. gallicus. 9-probably B. dissimilis. In the middle lane, they often fly to the light. This is rather intuitive, since I have reviewed thousands of them. In general, the Bledius of this subgenus is easily identified by the latest Central European determinant (the main thing is, do not look at the drawings of the Aedeagus!).

although, maybe 9 - B. gallucus. The coloration of these beetles is sooo variable. The dotted line is poorly visible...

1-really 16? then look at the tops of the front legs - can hirtipes be like this?
...

You can see it like that?

Is there a way to reliably distinguish between Blaps lethifera and B. halophila females ?

Can you say anything about these Heterocerus?

A couple of apionines.
I understand that they are not defined before the species, but if possible before the genus.

this riddle is great - muddy creatures (especially Kazakh) obris rear stingrays-heromancy (large series/ locale/....). only Nabozhenko will show you the way. and share the result

yesterday, after repeated attempts to distinguish between the females of two of our most common blaps, I found such a working sign-the letifera 1st member of the hind legs is asymmetric, on one side covered with long bristles, and on the other with short ones, while the halophila is symmetrical, covered with identical bristles on both sides. You need to look from below.

Signs related to the size, shape of the pronotum, the steepness of the slope of the elytra and the thickness of the lateral border of the pronotum do not work for me, everything floats...

what's the problem with seed eaters?

1-it is almost certainly Aspidapion validum, and "mallow" is actually marshmallow (stock-rose).
2-I see a female Betulapion simile, for confidence I would look from the side

and how do you know who is litefera and who is halophila? by males?

and how do you know who is litefera and who is halophila? by males?

yes, according to the males, the males are easily distinguished

Can you say anything about these Heterocerus?
All MO, Railway, to the light

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 - Heterocerus fenestratus.
4-very similar to Heterocerus marginatus, but I would like to see another angle, the shoulder spots are strange.
7-Augyles intermediate, it seems, but also some other angle is needed.

Ukraine, Rivne region, April 26.
Poecilus cupreus, or Poecilus versicolor ?

there is nothing easier, count the bristles of the inner row of the hind legs 5-7 versicolor, 8-10 cupreus

I counted more than 7 in the photo. Thank you!!!

Something I still do not stick these seed eaters, you need to sit and understand, and so everything is on the same face only different colors
Unfortunately, there is only one photo.

I counted more than 7 in the photo. Thank you !!!

if it's in a different photo, then it's fine, but the desired element is not shown in the above photo

I'm for versicolor, kupreus has spikes more often, though....

Everything you need is visible. I think both are Augyles intermedius, just the first one is not fully colored.

I counted only 4 on half of the shin, then it's blurry

I think there is not an under-painted beetle, but under the UV lamp the green fly got out, the color balance could not be corrected.

Happy New Year 2017!!!!,
All the warmest wishes, best achievements, and lots of good luck!!!
