Curculionidae Comment: Hi pepik, in this case I can just determine the genus Donus (formerly Hypera or Brachypera ... there has been quite some confusion about correct names of genera with the Hypera group of weevils).

Elateridae Comment: Hi pepik, this is some kind of genus Melanotus (Family Elateridae - click beetles). Maybe one of the others knows better. Best regards, Klaas Unfortunately I can't tell more.

Most of all Agapanthia maculicornis seem to be a good choice, but I'm absolutely insecure in this. Maybe one of the others knows better. Best regards, Klaas Last edited by, on: KR2017-01-01 06:59

Cantharidae Comment: Hi pepik, it is the same as it is in #60515. Genus Cantharis and therefor most impossible to identify just by photo. See also #60515.

Cantharidae Comment: Hi pepik, this is a member of genus Cantharis and therefor unimpossible to identify by photo. Coloration can be very variable and it is important to see punctation, bristles and other small characters for an ID. Sorry I can't tell more.

60517 # 60517 5 \| 2 \| 0	Submitted by, on: 37 pepik2016-12-31 13:52 Country, date (discovery): Greece 2014-06-04 Request: 04.06.2014 Zakynthos 8 mm Species, family: Lachnaia cf. sexpunctata Chrysomelidae Comment: Hi pepik, genus Lachnaia is quite difficult to identify. There is a number of species occuring around the mediterranean Region, but just a smaller number in Greece. Most important for a first Evaluation is a view straight from above (as it is in most of the beetles). I can tell for sure, that this one is a male beetle (see the long forelegs and their long feet). The ID of Lachnaia sexpunctata is not for sure, but in my mind the one that fits best on this. Best regards, Klaas Last edited by, on: KR2017-01-01 06:32

Chrysomelidae Comment: Hi pepik, this is a member of genus Coptocephala. There is a number of species occuring around the mediterranean Region and it is not easy to identify them. So I can't tell more than the genus Name. Maybe one of the others knows more. Best regards, Klaas Last edited by, on: KR2017-01-01 06:23

In my mind it is Macrolenes dentipes, which can be showing only one dot on the Elytrae at the shoulders, or show dots at the last third of the Elytrae, being bigger and just one, or being smaller and than being separated into two dots. ID not for sure. Best regards, Klaas Last edited by, on: KR2017-01-01 06:18
