The name Hypophloeus is misspelled, it should be Hypophlaeus. In addition, it is a junior synonym of the genus Corticeus Piller & Mitterpacher, 1783 All species should be transferred to Corticeus
Microdera gracilis is a junior synonym of Microdera campestris. See: Nabozhenko M.V., Kalashian M.Yu. 2022. Review of the darkling beetle genus Microdera Eschscholtz 1831 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Tentyriini) from the Caucasus and the plain parts of European Russia.

I would like to draw your attention once again to the fact that if you have photos in iNaturalist and you agree to upload some of them to Insecta, please let me know and I will upload them in (semi)automatic mode.
Можно сюда перенести всех Tetraloniella, судя по последним данным, кроме того часть из них уже здесь.
Comments that concerned incorrect photo label have been moved to the photo page https://insecta.pro/gallery/94784.
Shamil, judging by the history of comments on ainat, I would rather send it to Heorta sp. yes, and in inaccurate ones. As for the taxon itself — I don't want to judge it from the ainat, especially when it's not supported by more decent sources. Our source is also not very good, but at least there is a view of this kind on EOL. I wrote to the author of the photo yesterday, if he does not answer ...
Synonym of Phylloecus. It is necessary to carry out work on the site to record these two taxa. As a source, you can also use the Review of the genus Phylloecus (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) in Belgium and Western Europe (2020) .

The species is already on the website as Amauronematus humeralis. As soon as we understand where we are taking Euura squalida, I will transfer photographs if necessary and I'll assign illustrations.
Andrey, I've added F. ewaldi according to David R. Smith, Ewald Altenhofer. The Second Record of a Sawfly Leafminer on Rosa, A New Species of Fenusa (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae). April 2011. Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 113(1): 57-60. And Fenusa nana (Klug, 1816) - apparently, after all, a synonym for Fenusella nana?
Euura saliciscinereae was added. Is E. squalida a synonym of Euura humeralis (Audinet-Serville, 1823)?
Empria magnicornis: https://insecta.pro/taxonomy/1039135 Priophorus compressicornis: https://insecta.pro/taxonomy/1039136 (Cladius (Priophorus) compressicornis).
The species was added, but synonym remained... I have now deleted the synonym, moved the photo to H. heydeni and put it as an illustration to the species.
A species with a debatable status (L.V. Egorov. About the system of Platyscelidini beetles of the world fauna //Entomol. review. - 2004. - T. LXXXIII (83). - Issue 3. - pp. 581-613, 765-766.
Heterocerus heydeni Kuwert, 1890 is a distinct species - Litovkin SV, Sazhnev AS, Čiampor FJ. Validation of Heterocerus heydeni Kuwert, 1890 based on morphology and DNA barcoding, with notes on the problems of classification of the Heteroceridae (Coleoptera). Zootaxa. 2019 Jun 7;4614(1).
Please, add the species: Calyptopsis emarginata Reitter, 1889 - https://www.zin.ru/ANIMALIA/COLEOPTERA/rus/dbase32.htm
Add a species: Jordanita (Roccia) scintillosa Zolotuhin, 2020 - V.V. Zolotukhin, S.V. Nedoshivina. Variegated lepidoptera (Lepidoptera, Zygaenoidea) Middle and Lower Volga region. 2020, pp. 70-71.
On GBIF This is Apamea (Apamea) ingloria (A.Bang-Haas, 1912) - https://www.gbif.org/species/1795959 It was also identificated by Alexey Matov.
Apparently, they taught wrong. The very formulation of the question "why are such and such living organisms needed in nature” is incorrect.
Anthaxia signaticollis Krynicki, 1832 is an independent species! All the images belong to Anthaxia signaticollis speceis.
Dmitry, tsend me the source of information on the geography of the subspecies, and I will add the geo info.
Information from the 2016 catalog: The taxa L. marginata and L. opis differ in stable features both in the structure of the genitals of both sexes and in the characteristics of the wing pattern. There is no morphological "transition" between them in Sib. Lomaspilis opis Butler, 1878, stat. resurr., bona sp., is an independent species distributed in Asia. At the subspecific level, we maintain the ...
In the catalog of 2016 it is written: Heydemann described the taxon nigrita in the erroneous status of the subspecies Lomaspilis opis nigrita Heydemann, 1936, not finding obvious structural differences from opis in the genitals and not taking into account the fact of sympatry of opis and nigrita in the Russian DV (in his publication a typical male nigrita from "Ussuri" is illustrated). The ...
Andrey, a big request: submit corrections on the definition of photos at the pages of photos, and not at the pages of the species they illustrate.
To the request on the page https://insecta.pro/ru/taxonomy/199154: while I'm creating a taxon of this kind (based on ZIN et al.), there will be a curator of the taxon — if necessary, he will move it.
Very variable species. Not uncommon. Active flying from mid-September to mid-October. It is not active on the nightscreen, but it does not sit under the lamp. Noted: Belgorod region. around S. Boldyrevka,. ur. "Mukhanovo – Shelenkovo", oak forest edge and around Golovino, ur. "Verkina river",
Dear Peter, not a very rare butterfly for the Mukhanovo tract of the Belgorod region. During the active flying period, from 5 to 7 specimen are observed. As for the other places in the Belgorod region, it is not observed. Especially massively flies in late September to mid-October. This information was transmitted to A.Yu. Matov.
In the distribution section, you can specify the Rostov region. Two specimens were caught in a private yard, photos are on display.
