Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

Their larvae live in the willows. And the white foam is the larvae of the pennice cicada.

  
What kind of sawyere? Place of capture of several individuals-Vladikavkaz June 2007 on the Willow tree. Maybe musky, but why is the collar red?

I will assume that the red pronotum is a subspecies of Aromia moschata ambrosiaca Steven, 1809.

to Dmitrich yes, it is really very similar to Aromia moschata ambrosiaca Steven, only my specimens have shorter antennae a little. Well, I'll stop at this name. Thank you all for your help!

What kind of cow? Moscow.

What kind of cow? Moscow.

Sort of like Propylaea quatuordecimpunctata L. ? It is very variable.

Good day, dear colleagues.
Please help me with my shirt, I'm not very good at Meloidae.
Thank you in advance.
12.04.2008 Kiev region, Obukhov district, P. G. T. Kozin, on the ground (natural )
I assume that M. proscarabaeus (male), am I right?

Think violaceus

The first barbel is a large aspen creaker - Anaerea carcharias (L., 1758).
The second barbel is Phytoecia (Opsilia) coerulescens (Scop., 1763) - I do not know its acceptable Russian name.
Naryvnik (shpanskuyu fly) You have already been identified by Mylabris above.

Thank you so much for your help! Now I'll know!

Am I that angry? I've never done such nonsense as "putting everyone in their place..." [/color]

Come on, dear Nimrod, this RippeR joked out of the deepest respect and appreciation (shared!) for your invaluable help And "putting us in our place", that is, correcting our mistakes in the definition, is vital!

Off//
What if I blush? I'm embarrassed, God forgive me? What then?
Off end.

 
In this particular case, Mr. RippeR, it seems that you are right. Very similar to the battered P. bidens.
Am I that angry? I've never been involved in such nonsense as " putting everyone in their place..."

I apologize if I offended you in any way
I only meant that in the scarabaeids we often make mistakes, give out incorrect opinions, and then you come and say what is right is wrong )
And I've already made mistakes with pentadons so many times that I almost didn't even hope that it would finally turn out to be bidens

Yes, it's all good . But the time ??? Chronically not enough for everything about everything. Especially when you're in your late forties.

Musson_max: female Meloe violaceus

Dear Mylabris, thank you so much for your reply. The only thing is, you are sure that it is a female. When straightened, the belly is almost invisible under the elytra, does this happen in female Meloe?

The main feature by which males differ from females is the shape of the antennae, in males they are broken and twisted much more strongly. And the female is just fresh, not filled with eggs-apparently she hasn't gone on a spree with the male yet...

Patrobus assimilis ?
10 mm Shore of a forest swamp.

To the topic about Patrobus with a slight delay
-------------------------------------------
If this is the Carpathians, then assimilis is probably not here (it is more northern, as is septentrionis), but European australis, quadricollis, and styriacus are added. From tables http://www.coleo-net.de/coleo/texte/patrobus.htm it follows (if we assume that the bases of the elytra are smoothly rounded, without forming an obtuse angle) that this is neither quadricollis nor styriacus; australis and atrorufus remain. It seems to me that this is not australis, because its pronotum is noticeably more transverse than that of the identified specimen. That leaves atrorufus. And here some garbage turns out. On the "Green" it should have a shoulder prong, like the quadricollis, which the Germans do not mention a word. In addition, the external differences between atrorufus and assimilis are not as in" Green " in the shape of the pronotum, but purely speculative, they differ well only in the genitals. Further, the theses defining quadricollis in the "Green" and the Germans are exactly the opposite:
- prsp. at the base, it is no narrower than on the lane edge - in the "Green" and
-prsp. the front is more narrowed, its rear edge (base) is much wider than the front-in the Germans. Who should I trust? "Ours" seems to have the pronotum at the back and back of the same length, so if we assume that there is a prong or angle on the shoulders, then we go to styriacus. But I think it's still atrorufus: http://claude.schott.free.fr/Carabidae/Ani...patrobus_PL.jpg

I also believe that this is a non-standard atrorufus . I eliminated the Carpathian species immediately , since this beetle was caught in the north of the Lviv region. in Maly Polosye (150 km north of the Carpathians).It's a swampy plain.

By the way, how do the species in this genus differ?

11-Cybister lateralimarginalis (femail)

3 and 6 remind me of Timarcha sp.

Thank You Very Much

Rpanin, Patrobus australis is much more widespread than the Carpathians. It is also available in the Moscow region. At least in the reference collection for the Moscow region in the zoomuseum there is a series of this species, determined by Makarov. I also have three of my own, based on Nikitsky's fees and Makarov's definition (can I believe him?) I defined it that way. So, be vigilant.

It is interesting that in the list of Fennoscandia it was indicated only for Sweden, and in the above determinant about the nominative subspecies it is said more broadly-Southern Fennoscandia. But, the main thing is that the difference from another type may depend on an almost imperceptible difference in the ratio of the width of the prsp. to the length, in one case it is 1.28, and in the other 1.30, in my opinion, you need to measure very, very accurately .

Please, Mr. mems!
PICT3620.jpg - Pentodon idiota (Herbst). (Greasy shine, remember?)
PICT3645.jpg - Onthophagus (Palaeonthophagus) prope nuchicornis (L.). If you want me to define it more precisely, then you will need to take a picture of the front corners of the pronotum, head and general view, only such that the edges of the elytra are visible.
Dmitrich, thank you more, you made it earlier...

Meloe rugosus

Dear MEMS,
Photos 3 and 6 show Chrysolina sturmi (Westhoff, 1882)
(=C. diversipes (Bedel, 1892), =C. goettingensis (Linnaeus 1758), =C. violacea (Weise, 1916))

This post was edited by Buzman - 04/15/2008 18: 31

A crushed elephant - apparently Cleonus piger (Scop.)

To mems: I agree with Ripper - rugosus.

amara-thank you for the translator! (I don't remember in what topic it was said) I had it, but in a somewhat complicated version. Through Word ,and some other rubbish. Sometimes in the Internet, in the computer, you don't really want to strain yourself.
And here everything is in place at once!

Tell me what kind of beetle. 7-8mm. I got caught in a vineyard. The color is gray.
Astrakhan region, April 13.

I sent you the revision!

to Nimrod

"PICT3620.jpg - Pentodon idiota (Herbst). (Greasy shine, remember?)"
What kind of greasy shine are you talking about? I didn't understand

And Onthophagus'a I will straighten out and properly turn around with the camera

FIRST, Gonocephalum pusillum with the view I can make a mistake now, I'll check it out tomorrow. You still have 3 types there.

and in general-chernotelka (suddenly do not know...)

these copies were shown to Mr. Medvedev in ZINA (they were taken by friends), he said that there are no such things (not only there, but also in principle, that they are some kind of freaks - it turns out that I dug them out or made them (or first one, then the other ). I think that the species are specific and even easily recognizable (if suddenly not new to science) - I believe that someone will easily name them here...

1. Kirghizia, Karabalta, 1992
2. SE Kazakhstan, roc. Kapchagai, 1994

definitely vykakannye, then molded
In my opinion, there are a lot of similar things in museums.. Maybe Medvedev did not answer in good faith? To avoid defining it? Otherwise, if these were new species that are not known to science, I don't think that a person involved in this group would so easily dismiss them..
