Identification of beetles (Coleoptera)

Nutcracker from the stomach of a corpse of a vol. starling (Sturnus vulgaris) decomposing in water for 2 days, 15/06/15. Minsk, Makaenka str. 8, arboretum garden.
The length of the yellow elytra is 5 mm, the length of the head + psp. = 3 mm. Adrastus sp.? Can you determine up to the type? This nutcracker has a belly in the material.
If it is objectively impossible to determine this good, please indicate it.

Photos 1-2. I will not give a 100% guarantee, but the pronotum with the head is very similar to Dalopius marginatus, but the elytra are not very... Adrastus is smaller, it is all 5-6 mm. both he and Dalopius (which is somewhat larger = 8-10mm) usually have a dark stripe on the elytra

Is there any way to identify this plowman?
Krasnoyarsk, flew to the light. 8.06.18
L - 7mm

This is a water lover from the complex of Hydrobius fuscipes species, more precisely, no one knows yet.

And again elephants. From a sample of feces of the great tit (Parus major), 27/09/14. Minsk, Makaenka str. 8, arboretum garden. Head tube size 1.5 mm. The antennal groove reaches to the eyes. Together with the heads in the material, orange thighs with small spikes are also 1.5 mm in size.

Is it possible to define at least up to sub-families/tribes? I tried to determine, but nothing worked. It is likely that the hips may not be from these boshek.
I can't make friends with long-tailed elephants in any way, short-tailed elephants accept me better
If it is not possible to determine this good objectively, then please indicate it .

Thank you so much in advance!

Magdalis phlegmatica

1. Tula region, July 14. The edge of a small deciduous copse. Chrysolina graminis?


2. Ryazan region, July 17. flew to the light of the window. Serica brunnea?


3. Ryazan region, mid-July. Are these two color forms of Hoplia crumbs?


4. Ryazan region, July 21. Relatively large weevil, on the inflorescence of Helichrysum sand.


5. Ryazan region, July 25. When collecting mushrooms, he was found sitting peacefully on the sand in a fire pit. Is this some kind of blackie?


6. Tula region, July. To my shame, I don't remember what plant these leaf beetles were found on, but it was something floral.

Most likely small Athous subfuscus

Good evening. Judging by the paws, this is a male and a female, please tell me where the male is, and where is the female?

This summer, in the Tula region, cruciferous fleas ate all the cabbage. Is it Phyllotreta cruciferae? Due to the size of the beetles, the photo is not very good, there are still a couple of angles, but all grainy..

Hello everyone.

Good evening to all!
Can you tell me if Aphodius foetidus (Herbst, 1783) can be found in Primorsky Krai? The network has instructions only for Europe, but my beetles from the PC are very similar to this http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/...iusfoetidus.htm

No, this is a European animal, and it definitely does not exist in Primorye. With a similar color, there may be a light form of A. (Phaeaphodius) rectus, this is what it looks like: http://photozou.jp/photo/show/1433095/255748240 However, such beetles are already in Flax.there are areas.

The photo, of course, is not a fountain at all, but look at the last one on the subject of Onthophagus (Euonthophagus) amyntas - I don't remember any other onthophagus from ETR with such a pit on the back chest.

Once again, consulting assistance is required in identifying elephants.
Elephants from the feed of the meadow chased (Saxicola rubetra). 01.07.15., Volozhinsky district, Minsk region. Biotope: open areas near the floodplain of the Zapadnaya Berezina River.

The head of 1 elephant-photos 1-4. Head size = 2 mm. I would like to say Polydrusus sp., but the antennal grooves are so shallow that under binoculars they are visible only at the highest magnification, and in the photo they are not visible at all. I had to highlight them in the photo in color.

Head of 2 elephants-photos 5-8. Head size also = 2 mm. I don't know who it is yet.

I will be glad of any help. If it is objectively impossible to determine these elephants, please indicate this. I express my gratitude in advance.

And here is another interesting specimen from the feed of the meadow mint (Saxicola rubetra), material from 24.07.16, Volozhinsky district, Minsk region. Biotope: West Berezina River floodplain.

As I understand it, this is a Dryops trailer. The beetle size is 4.1 mm. I try to determine up to the species, I tend to D. ernesti (in the identification of insects EC coleoptera and fan-wings, 1965, it is indicated that D. ernesti has dark legs, which is observed in this specimen). The hairs are almost all broken off, and more, unfortunately, I still have nothing to catch on to. Consultation is required on this matter. Is it even possible to determine the larvae without dissection?

If it is objectively impossible to determine this bug, please indicate this.

Dryops mostly need to be gutted. And it is useless to determine them by" green " at all.
Your copy is too long for D. ernesti, I think.

Thanks! I just assumed that it might be D. ernesti. But if you need to open it, which I personally do not know how to do, then let it remain Dryops sp.

And here is another "miracle" came out. Made of the same material as Dryops. The width of the fragment in the photo is approximately 2.7-2.8 mm. I don't know what it is. I thought it was one of the Cassidinae. Reviewed all cassidins on the ZIN website https://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/rus/cassi_sf.htm as well as all those who are listed in the fauna of Belarus and in I. K. Lopatin's determinant "Leaf beetles of the fauna of Belarus and the Baltic States", 1986-and nothing.

Help with the definition, please.

What's wrong with Cassida azurea ?

Um...Yes, somehow I was confused by a dark spot on the surface of the prsp. (it can be seen in the first photo). + looking at photos of billboards on the Internet, you don't immediately notice a similar prsp sculpture. On the other hand, I have already turned over all the beetle groups and it seems that there are no other options except for Cassida.

In our country, this type is more common than others, and during this time we managed to collect a whole line of various color forms.
