Eugene ! Apparently, this was one of the reasons why a number of insects from different orders ( not just beetles) were not included in the qualifiers and even catalogues. In the new ones, it will probably be only when it is.

Right here http://www.dslib.net/bio-resursy/zhuki-mertvoedy-kozheedy-centralnogo-predkavkazja-fauna-jekologija.html On this point: "Some authors (Shchegoleva-Barovskaya, 1933; Hlisnikovsky, 1964; Lafer, 1989) adhere to the point of view of Semenov-Tyan-Shansky (1926), who distinguished the subgenus Acanthopsilus Port. from a nominative genus to a separate genus. However, it is more appropriate to continue to consider this taxon as a subgenus, since in our opinion, the main distinguishing features of Acanthopsilus (first of all, the structure of the club antennae) are insufficient to increase the rank in comparison with the most isolated Eonecrophorus and Ptomascopus. This opinion prevails among foreign entomologists (Hatch, 1928; Schawaller, 1980, 1981; Anderson, 1982; Peck, 1982)".

Yuri! It is only found in the genus AcanthopsilusPort. with the caveat that it is often considered in the genus N e crophorus.

Indeed, there is no Nicrophorus concolor in the DV determinant. But there is in the Internet. In particular excellent scans on the Zinovsky website http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/rus/nicconsi.htm The beetles were caught in the Spassky and Khasansky districts of Primorsky Krai.

If we believe the DV Insect Identifier, this species is not found in Primorye, but the similar and unique black seaside species Nicrophorus tenuipes (Lewis, 1887) differs precisely in the unicolored brown club of the antennae. Here the mace is typical for humator. ???
