Pic 8 it's seems to be Taurrhina longiceps, maybe with a larger picture...

pic.5 : Stethodesma stachiani pic.6 & 7: Plaesiorhina sp.
It should be really easier to post a single species in each post...

Ok, I am putting my best guesses forward using both my collection and "Cetoniinae of the World" by Sakai & Nagai. I did the best I could with the pic quality (no criticism meant), no legs showing, no heads really showing, and glare. I may have few of them wrong, but I did have to ID some that were in nearby countries, not just the Tanz. locales. Togo and tanz.(pic 8) are rather far apart, so I had to really guess.
If you could mount them up and do several views of each, I think a better Id-ing would happen. Honestly, I do not know if you are among the collectors who prefer keeping them packaged as opposed to mounting, so please do not take offense.
pic 1 Looks much like Mausoleopsis seillierei.....not sure. pic 2 Pseudoclinteria infuscata pic 3 Leucocelis (Oxythyrea) adspersa pic 4 Genus is perhaps Protaetia or Cetonia(Eucetonia) pic 6 and 7 Plaesiorrhinella watkinsiana pic 8 Caelorrhina thoreyi or kolbei --- Togo area ---------or---------C. superba----Tanzania area Note: With respect to ludovicvignon, I do not see enough anterior head material to go with Taurrhina longiceps, nor do I see any sign of a profemoral spike near the body. pic 9 is Gnatocera cruda..........and............based on the pronotum marking of pic 10, I'd tend to think it is also G. cruda but maybe an ignita form or the photo had some flash issue with the wrap making it look redder. The mid vertical white line on the pronotum is unique to this species when compared to the other Gnatoceras. pic 11 & 12 ----can't see enough detail to make a guess pic 13 is Amazula suavis.
I'd welcome other input to confirm or deny my hypotheses. I am only putting out my best determinations based on what I had to work with. Hope I helped.

N°. 4 seems to be Protaetia sp. (Cetonia have quite different habitus), but, I need to see the under side and a better view of upper side for giving an ID.
But, it could be P. (Netocia) cyanea or P. (Netocia) armeniaca var. coerulea. Could you give us more details about location?
For Plaesiorrhina/Plaesiorrhinella, I can't give ID without aedeagus.
Regards,
Stéphane

OH! sorry dear friends,i was busy for other stuff so didn't logged in the forum. and the helps came a lot! reply to : Mr.Stephanie, location,sorry,i don't have any location infomation when receiving the parcels.
reply to Mr."billgarthe" i haven't mounted any of my insects for thouse reasons: money were used mainly for buying insects specimen,and the frams made in china are few and the quality are not nice as i expected,but purchasing form aborad is too costy. so i just waiting till everything is mature. china don't have carbinets on sale.i perfer crarbinets with drawers. i will put thouse good ID info. each on them!
THANK YOU VERY ALL AGAIN!
