They asked for elephants - I have them!

Lachnaeus crinitis Schoncherr-Rostov region, near the village of Morskoy Chulek, 21 05 1995
the beetle lives in steppe areas, develops on devyasila. I've never seen it in large quantities.
[b]
Mesagroicus obscurus Boh. - Adygea, near the Dakhovskaya station
is quite rare, I don't know what it eats.
Ceutorrhynchus (Hadroplondrus) asperifoliarum Gyllenhal-Rostov region, near the village of Morskoy Chulek, 23 04 1995
develops on the burachnikovs

I don't see much resemblance

It looks like this: 1) I wasn't going to question anyone's opinion at all. 2) In the atlas "Beetles of Israel" there is nothing even close to it. There is a bad photo of a cadaver of unknown age, which I was guided by, and its name (photo) is Hypolixus nubilosus. I.e., well, I couldn't take a picture of something that is not in the atlas. Although it is clear that theoretically everything is possible... Again, I fully agree with you that the beetle Hypolixus nubilosus listed on the link on the Israeli insect site is not even close to similar. So it turns out that I can't call the removed beetle yet...

But why not? quite easily, just ) Lixins are an extensive group and far from being as simple as it might seem at first.

Try to look at the fauna of the USSR by lixins - most of the Middle Eastern genera are also there. In my opinion, Pycnodactylus (in the Ter-Minassians, this will either go to the genus Temnorhinus or Conorhynchus) is a rather peculiar head tube. With the view it will be more difficult, I can't imagine Mediterranean views, unfortunately.

Since I brought it on a mattress and handed it over to Liparus, there is hope that it will be determined... And here is another instance that is on the site http://www.nature-of-oz.com/Curculionidae.htm it is defined as Larinus ursus, and in the same atlas "Beetles of Israel" there is no such thing, but there is a similar Larinus albarius. It is found in a fairly moist mountain meadow. It is seen on onopordum, orchid, etc...

Well, here I am at most up to the subgenus... And in general, larinuses are almost the darkest Palearctic lixins. Even with ours, there are a lot of questions.
The first Larinus (s.str.) is really from the same group as ursus. He climbed the orchid out of longing, larinuses are all on compound flowers.
The second one, judging by the nose, is also from the nominative subgenus, I haven't even seen close ones like this.
The third is from the subgenus Phyllonomeus (=Larinodontes), which is generally terrible in itself. There's a good half of them here.

Onopordums there are large in relation to orchids. Well, above the knee, maybe up to the waist, and the orchids are small (see 20) and sometimes grow under them. He could have easily fallen on it...

09-Pseudocleonus cinereus
08-Liophloeus tessulatus
07 - Yes probably striatopunctatus-dystrophic
06-Sitona ?lineatus
01-Coniocleonus hollbergii
02-Sciaphobus squalidus
03-Some simple Hypera.
05 - ?Nedyus quadrimaculatus

13 - Phyllobius ?pyri
12 - Phyllobius sp. - I don't understand
11 - I don't understand. ?Sciaphilus asperatus
04 - Pseudostyphlus pillumus вроде
10 - Otiorhynchus ?fullo

14-Mecaspis alternans IMHO
15-on what? Working hypothesis-Mogulones austriacus
16, 17-Sitona sp.

Thank you very much. Please visit our website more often. http://kharkov.naturalist.su/ Your help with the identification will not be superfluous at all. Maybe you can fix some of our mistakes... What Mogulones was on I can't say. I mowed it down....
