Hello everyone
Special greetings to the experts on weevils.
So I'm coming from the post office today. Pleased... I turned into Rose Valley Park. I drank some coffee... Then he picked at the bark on an old pine stump. I couldn't resist. And on the bark there are three little black beetles, made of kossonins. I love them very much, always diligently collect and identify them. And with these three so far, nothing comes out. 2.5 mm long, rather narrow black, matte as if very finely cut. The rows of pits are almost indistinguishable, unlike other small and rather shiny kossonins (Rhyncolus, for example). And in a pine tree for the first time I find beetles of this subfamily. Who could it be? I can't take a picture , they're too small.
And then one more question on the topic. Can it be in Moldova (in Europe?) Stenoscelis brevis? Or is it a purely American look?

Doesn't it look like Dryophthorus?

No, the exact opposite. My body is cylindrical, parallel-sided. The muzzle is very short and blunt. Beetles are black and opaque. Maybe a short-faced Pine eater?

................
That's it, the question is removed. I'm leaning towards Rhyncolus sculpturatus. There is another characteristic feature of the species found in my three Musketeers - a slight longitudinal receding hairline on the pronotum in the middle. This is my fourth species of the genus, so gradually accumulates material and you begin to see the differences between them. It is especially pleasant that the discovery occurred in mid-November, unexpectedly. Park, quiet, pine grove, coffee, cigarette and suddenly immediately a new view!

Bugs don't end!
