   Fifth one might be a tenebrionid, just looking at the antennae. Quite an interesting shape to it.

   "Sixth" one is an elateridae haha.. unless of course it's a Eucnemidae, haha. The 5th one does not seem too much like a Tenebrionidae, I'll look it up this weekend-

   Hello!
Thanks for everyone! For the Elateridae, the size is about 4,5cm. Quite big! for the "Tenebrionid", the size is the same. As I looked yesterday on the net, could it be Chiroscelis digitata?
Thanks..
have a good day!
Seb

   Hi Seb,

I only found a single picture of Chiroscelis digitata and it didn't show the pronotum very well, tough to say. You could see the front legs though and they appeared to have the same shape as that specimen.
Anyone have a picture of Chiroscelis digitata?

   #3 could be genus Nitocris or similar (Neonitocris, ...).
