Identifying beetles that no one has identified in the main topic

in the main topic, apparently lost, no one paid attention:

I apologize for the quality, but if you can help identify beetles:
deciduous forest, Kiev region, 12.10.13

in the main topic, apparently lost, no one paid attention:

Ampedus sp. Very difficult photo snappers. That's probably why they didn't answer anything. It seems like a good site for snappers: http://www.elateridae.com/
What is its size?

10 mm

~10mm

A. pomonae? A. sanguineus (small specimen)? A. cinnaberinus? : I know of all-red variants that can fit this size. This is a fortune-telling on coffee grounds. Can anyone else tell me

I will be at home, I will try to make a normal photo

Isn't it praeustus? Prsp. heavily dotted?

You can't see anything. I'm sorry, but using this photo to determine-the same as looking at beetles under binoculars with a kerosene lamp

I agree. but the bug is not at hand yet

I place here my not certain chernotelku (?), Gorny Altai

Prsp. dotted all and very thick +tips ndkr. have a black spot. the legs are brown-brown, the 2 and 3 segments of the antennae are thinner than the others.

Iron praeustus. If you had written this , you would have identified it in the main topic (there are knowledgeable people there...), despite the photo. The view is easily recognizable .

A mysterious picture, however. The only thing it really looks like is Metaclisa. What it does on the territory of Gorny Altai (if the labeling error is excluded) is difficult to understand. They are not reported from Mongolia; the" closest " distribution is atrocyanea (Japan, Korea, China. China, I believe, is "appropriate".)

Help identify the barbel prion.

Please help with the definition.
Beetles on a thistle flower, eating pollen. The size can be determined by the ratio to the stamens. One has an orange belly, the other is dark with an orange element.
location of shooting-Ukraine, Nikolaev. 14.06.2015.
I assume that these are narrow-winged birds.
Oedemera monticola?
Oedemera lurida?
Oedemera virescens ?
Perhaps there are several types of beetles here?

I would not call the view unambiguously - the angle is not quite good for determining and the key features are not visible. This is a female, most likely Oedemera lurida or Oedemera virescens, they are the most common in our country.

The main topic was not answered, please tell me what kind of bug is on palchatokorennik baltiysky? As if in a "shrunken" frock coat, the belly is black with orange stripes.

Thank you, it's all very clear now.

Thank you for your attention, Igar and AGG. A non-specialist conclusion to give And then I'm on the link at all in Cordylepherus viridis (Fabricius, 1787), Female is gone.

Please help me identify this abscess. Sevastopol, 18.06.2016, on thistle flowers.

I'm not an expert on this group, pm can only advise you to "run" to the genus, and maybe to the species, using these keys http://www.coleo-net.de/coleo/texte/malachiidae.htm

Mylabris quadripunctata four-point abscess

Please help me determine (confirm)

Cambodia, Sihanoukville April 2018
Batocera victoriana Thomson, 1856 ?

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

Since we couldn't help in the main topic, I'm writing a question here.

On the right is Poecilus cupreus (Linnaeus, 1758). Tell me, what is the beast on the left? Another poecilius? Caught in the near Moscow region at the end of August. It looks black on the eye, but under the flash it shimmers a little.

Binoculars will help you: count the bristles on the inner surface of the hind legs - and you will be happy: versicolor has 5-7 of them, cupreus has 8-10 (in severely beaten beetles that have lost their bristles, you need to carefully look at the bristle-bearing pores).

Thanks for the reply.

Setae 10 pieces. So it's definitely not Versicolor.

Or maybe it's not cupreus (it's too black) or even poecilius at all?

Cupreus, I guess. Left - male, right-female. And the color can be black, blue, copper-red, or bronze... And in both of these species.

Thank you, Victor!

Can you please recommend a good guide to our ground beetles? I saw that you attached a page from the English/Czech determinant (?). Which determinant in Russian is better for a beginner to use: so that there are more pictures to the theses/antitheses, otherwise phrases like "epimers of the middle chest are large, while the uncus is bent slightly weaker than usual" are not always clear to the beginner.

I would like something like this https://coleop123.narod.ru/key/opredslon/opred_slon.html or Negrobov, only with details to species (or at least genera).

Unfortunately, I don't have the full work of K. Hurka myself - I got this page myself at one time here, on the forum. Existing Russian-language definitions of Carabidae devoted to ground beetles of a particular region, as a rule, do not include absolutely all the species that live in the territory under consideration. Some of them are freely available and are partially suitable for identifying species found in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation, for example::
https://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/rus/zhereb00.htm
For the genus Pterostichus, you can use this work:
http://olegberlov.narod.ru/BerlovTilly1998_12_4-13.pdf
I like to use this online determinant for most systematic groups: https://coleonet.de/coleo/html/start.htm
Well, do not forget about the series Determinant of insects of the Far East, Determinant of coleoptera of the Middle Volga region by A. Y. Isaev...

Victor, thank you very much!
