 There are a few photos from Stéphane Brule in French Guiana. Could anyone confirm whether I have guessed the correct family ... and possibly add any more information?

I know I am mixing species in the same thread (for brevity) but really I only expect family-level IDs and I will label each with a letter code

 Dear Chris,

I agree with Igor Grichanov that this concerns a Diaphorus, one of the numerous species of this genus to be found in the Neotropics.

Cheers,
