Hi Eveveryone! I am a novice in this forum and I am trying to identify at least the families group about 2 coleoptera. Would someone know to tell me about them? Attachments:

The first beetle. Family Staphylinidae. Subfamily: Stylopodinae. genus: Stylopodus. There are several possibilities for the species. I don't have a paper for this genus, except for what's in the Biologia Centrali-Americana Volumes on line. In older literature it was named Megalops.
The second beetle is in the family: Curculionidae, SF: Ceutorrhynchinae, maybe similar to Ceutorhynchus, but I can't be sure because I can't see the length of the snout. The second one is a guess. My suggestion for the Staphylinid is to contact Dr. Newton at the Chicago Natural History Museum, he could probably take it to species.
