Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

196 if it is small up to 3 mm, it resembles Hylastes opacus, I would like to know what conifers are still there.

It seems to me that it is slightly larger than 3 mm. From coniferous trees around-spruce and pine (if in the forest), well, on the sites of all sorts of junipers, larch, thuja...

Can anyone identify the Dermestidae from the anthill? E Azerbaijan, Absheron Peninsula, near Gobustan vill., h=120m, 40°29'58.22" N 49°27'54.10" E. 2015-04-15. 1,4мм. Thanks!

Labidostomis humeralis or Labidostomis lucida? Or you can't tell for sure from this picture?

The upper one I think is yes suturalis
but the second one, I distinguish females of proximus from laricis by the forehead mainly. Do laricis have a matte finish with clear grains? at proximus, it is clearly brilliant. But these bumps between the lower and second teeth are characteristic of laricis. Well, look at the lower edge of the car's hollow, it doesn't seem to be wavy

Thanks!!! Here is another photo of the forehead and the lower edge of the depression

these two types regularly cause difficulties for me, especially when you catch individual specimens. Sometimes it seems that everything is clear, and sometimes you have to start all over again :-)

well, as you can see, this is just O. proximus and as I understand it, the male has like 4 teeth? )))
In fact, I have already shown all the slides here ))))) And the back edge of the wheelbarrow is wavy and the forehead is shiny with dots!

smaller in size? it seems to me that this is generally O. suturalis male. The grooves on the elytra are not so clear, very shiny. It is necessary to take a photo from the front of the forehead, often they hide their head in the pronotum, then the dotted forehead does not work. The ratio of length between the 1st teeth and between the 1st and 2nd of each side is important.

Please help me identify it. Like Lixus, but that's what it is....

from where? on subtilis does not pull?

Got caught in the stock products inanimate. Polesie of Ukraine.
Yes, first of all, Lixus subtilis came to mind, but I was confused by the fact that the pronotum usually shows a longitudinal keel, this is not mentioned in the literature. Well, most likely a visual deception and this is really Lixus subtilis. thank you!!!

Is it possible to distinguish Cantharis obscura paradoxa?

Please tell me this Cerocoma schaefferi (Linnaeus, 1758)
Tatarstan, Nizhnekamsk district, village's ROC. Troitsky. 2015-07-9

I see, thank you.
And this is Platycerus caraboides (Linnaeus, 1758)
Tatarstan, Nizhnekamsk district, Tavel village

The picture shows a female - it is hardly possible to say 100% which of the two: ?caprea,? caraboides... However, when fishing in pairs (when mating), it was found that bronze and red legs are female caraboides. But not all of them are like that.

On Bistorta major (Polygonaceae).

So you need a photo of the genitals, or a photo of the back of the beetle will help?
