Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

do you have any problems with posting photos on the forum, I can't upload photos to messages

Zhenya, everyone has problems!
Upload images via http://radikal.ru/
Thank you, the guys suggested it. Nice deal.

Can you tell me how to correctly measure the body length of weevils? Should the length of the head tube be taken into account if it is bent?

How to distinguish it from notatus? The sling reaches the edge.

Is the bug taken? it would be nice to see the bottom again. Not reaching the first line is a bad sign. But the bottom is reliable. Habitally, this is sigma. Yes, and there is no notatus in the MO, it seems, yet.

  
3. Anisodactylus binotatus, probably

I looked at other photos of this species - Anisodactylus binotatus should have red or red legs. And this one has black ones. Maybe not him?

  
4. Harpalus sp. Further, I will not venture to say from this photo, you need a clear angle of the pronotum. I immediately thought that someone from latus / laevipes, but some kind of punctuation at the base of the pronotum is weak (or maybe it's a morph), and there are no visible pores in the 3rd groove on the elytra

Here are a couple more photos of this beetle. I just don't know if they'll help. The size of the beetle was about one and a half times smaller than Harpalus rufipes usually are. Probably a little smaller than Harpalus affinis usually are.







And I had another similar bug removed last year -it was never identified here. Maybe the same view?

5. I'll call it the number five-after those four ground beetles. The same from near Penza, May.







Here, and in this topic, and in others, they say that because it is impossible to upload photos here , you need to upload them to Radikal photo hosting, and then insert them here. But please note that Radikal has a warning that if a photo has not been viewed for a year , it is automatically removed from the photo hosting service!

I don't recall seeing A. binotatus with red legs in my training camps
Harpalus laevipes disappears (at least I don't see any pores on the elytra). Leave Harpalus sp. (this specimen is clearly from the H. latus group).
5. Harpalus smaragdinus

Hello!
Please help me identify some barbels, hollyhocks, hornbills, bronzes, and goldfinches. Unfortunately, I got many of the tropical ones without labels.
I apologize for uploading such a large number of photos at once, but I'm just taking advantage of the moment when I couldn't upload photos for several days...
a barbel was caught in the Smolensk region, summer 1994.bronzovki were caught in the vicinity of B. Sochi, in the summer, in crown traps. Presumably P. cuprina?under the supposed kuprina from Sochi.all bronzes are from Paraguay, there are 3 different types.Ranzania bertolonii?Sternocera aequisignata?of these, I know only Nemophas tricolor and the hairy-whiskered Batus babricornis.Celosterna luteopubens?

barbel was caught in the Smolensk region, summer 1994.

Like Rhopalopus ?macropus

Thank you for your help.
But if it is not difficult, then please help to clarify some more questions.

1. Important to me! What do the letters sp mean? after the title of the family? T e the fact that the species is not clear what, only the genus? I often found these letters, including here on the forum - sp, ssp, spp, Googled, but never found an explanation for them.

2. What does the "?"sign mean? between species and genus names? The fact that it is not completely clear whether he is or not?
Did I interpret that correctly?

3. And I correctly identified our bronzers as Kuprin, since you didn't write anything about them? This is very important for me, because I catch them systematically, but I don't know exactly what kind of species...

T e in the picture, where there are a lot of beetles still Batocera paryyi? I thought so too, but parryi has light spots on the top of her chest, and this one doesn't... and on the left in the top row, what kind of Batocera? Or is it not even Batocera? Generally similar in appearance to them.

About Eupathorus something I know)) but if only there was some other determinant for them... I've probably identified some of them, but I'm not sure for sure.

Thank you for your help.

1.
You somehow Googled badly.
sp. - abr. from species i.e. species-means that it is a species from the specified genus (but it is not known which one)
spp. - also, but in the plural - i.e. a group of several species from the specified
ssp genus. - from subspecies, i.e. subspecies (a taxonomic unit ranked below the species)

Like Rhopalopus ?macropus

And for me so this is a Lamia texture with a torn off head

And for me so it's Lyamiya textor with a torn off head

No, this is definitely not a Textor. I already know them, because we have a lot, I have about a dozen copies of different sizes available. Of course, my photo is not the best quality, but it differs very significantly, believe me.

Of course, I don't know much about sawyers at all, so, at the amateur level.
But I don't remember any of our species that are similar in habit to Textor, except for Morimuses, which are just completely different.

Photo of Lyamiya textor from the web, for comparison. Put your head back in its place, and no differences will remain

Well, I don't know, maybe of course the Textures from the middle band are so different from our southern ones...
This beetle was caught already in 1994 in the Smolensk region. Yes, his head and chest fell off, everything was then glued)) but I and all the other beetles try to lift their heads so that the mandibles are visible, I just like it more aesthetically.
First of all, this one is much darker. Secondly, those that I catch now have a slightly different shape, well, I don't even know how to describe it, their whiskers are thicker, the elytra narrow more towards the end of the abdomen, in general, so offhand immediately and do not explain. I will try to post better photos of my Textors along with this later, if of course they load, because there was a problem with this.

   No options.

And you think so too? Hm... can you help me determine up to the type of my Potokia, whom I supposedly identified as Kuprin? I'd really appreciate it.

Please tell me - are these beetles Protaetia (Potosia) metallica or Protaetia (Potosia) cuprea? Or are there both?

1. The first one





2. The second one






3. Third parties. It seems to be all of the same type, but the processes are not quite the same as in 1 and 2

1-Dmitry, do you have a photo from above?
2-metallica
3-marmorata = lugubris

...the elytra narrow more towards the end of the abdomen...

In your beetle, the elytra are not expanded, but are separated along the seam, so they seem wider. And if you close them, everything will fall into place.

... can you help me determine up to the type of my Potokia, whom I supposedly identified as Kuprin? I'd really appreciate it.

Alas, this (and even from the photo) is not my thing. I myself give my own definitions to specialists to check.

1-Dmitry, do you have a photo from above?

Yes, Roman, of course. Here it is:





I wonder how I got the marble bronzes mixed up with the copper ones. They were too green, like cuprea or metallica. In general, are cuprea and metallica different types or one?


Now I understand the differences between the three common types of bronzes. Here they are:

 
2. What does the "?"sign mean? between species and genus names? The fact that it is not completely clear whether he is or not?
Did I interpret that correctly?

Exactly

Yes, Roman, of course. Here it is:

metallica

cuprea and metallica-the European people came up with the idea that there is cuprea, and metallica is its subspecies, which we strongly disagree with, because this is nonsense

Dalopius marginatus ?

Yes, + couple in love Propylaea quatuordecimpunctata.

Please help

Aphodius fimetarius or foetens (=aestivalis). It is necessary to wipe the abdomen if black-A. fimetarius, red-A. foetens

Well, I'll definitely take a picture of him against the Lamias in the best possible quality in daylight in the near future, and then you can see for yourself. If of course the photos are uploaded.
And it's not even in his head.
P. S. I do not dispute your opinion about the species and it is quite possible that this is the case, but the fact that it differs from our Textors-you will see for yourself)
P. P. S. I generally saw on the forum photos of Textors with black spots on the elytra, but I myself have never I haven't seen any of them.

Who knows about "imported" kaloedah? Are they different species or a pair of the same species?

1. Thailand


2. Laos

Who knows about "imported" kaloedah? Are they different species or a pair of the same species?

I think it's something like Onthophagus seniculus.

Can you identify a beauty from Turkey from this photo?

I think it's Calosoma breviusculum Mnnh.

Ukraine, Rivne region, May 21. Chrysolina varians ?

A water lover can be identified by such a photo? Moscow, 5.5 mm, to the light
of some Enochrus?
