Ernestia puparum(female) is the correct name? Thank you very much.
Slovak Republik, Terchová region on the Malá Fatra 21.04.2011.
I removed the fourth photograph was included by mistake. Thank you for understanding.

Noooooooooooooooooo -
Ernestia must have a projecting mouth edge. Still, I am not confident to say much ... possibly
Cyzenis? Also the last photo is a different species - possibly
Bothria? :)

Chris: How about
Phryno vetula for the first couple. I agree with
Bothria for the last.
I have not seen a single
P. vetula here this spring... I wonder if they have been outcompeted by
Phorocera obscura, which is extremely abundant this year... I have also never seen as big
Ph. obscura as here, the biggest are 14mm!! I tried hard to make them something rarer...

Yes -
Phryno ... you know when you have said something and it just doesn't sound right ... but I couldn't remember the name of
Phryno vetula ... grrr :D
Here
Phryno,
Cyzenis &
Phorocera are fairly local - not common at all - I haven't seen either this year.
