Greetings,
I think I can give you names on most of these...
#1 - Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae: Asidini: Philolithus morbillosus - pretty sure about this one, but it would be a good idea to have a tenebrionid specialist double-check my ID. #2 - Carabidae - Galerita sp., either G. lecontei or G. mexicana
#3 - Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Melolonthini - Phyllophaga sp. - check the base of the elytra - if it has a number of very long, erect setae, this would be Phyllophaga vetula.
#4 - Meloidae - Pyrota akhurstiana
#5 - Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Anomalini - Anomala nimbosa
#6 - Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Elaphidiini: Aneflomorpha sp., most likely A. rectilinea
#7 - Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini - Oncideres quercus
#8 - Cerambycinae: Cerambycinae: Elaphidiini: Orwellion gibbulum arizonense
#9 - Meloidae - Epicauta sp.
#10 - Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae: Cyclocephalini - Cyclocephala melanocephala
#11 - Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Melolonthini - Phyllophaga sp. Not enough detail visible in the image to make an accurate ID. A lot of species of Phyllophaga can only be accurately determined by examining the male genitalia.
#12 - Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae: Macrodactylini - Isonychus arizonensis
Hope this helped...
Cheers! Bandrow
