Spharagemon cristatum
Looking at these photos is fun. They are wonderful! This is Spharagemon cristatum. Otte and others have removed it from S. collare, but it blends with that species northward, and I consider it a regional variant or subspecies of S. collare. Nice photo.

Spharagemon sp.
This is a species in the genus Spharagemon for sure. Thanks to the detail on this image I can see only a single, deep notch in the pronotal crest (top of thorax), a hallmark for most Spharagemon species.
