suggest frassing
unless better images can be made. This is a complex group and BG is loaded with good, sharp genus-level pics.

Im only interested in Elateridae and Throscidae

Oh sorry
I wasn't really paying attention. I'm sending this one to Brad Barnd, not you. I'm only sending you Elaterids (sadly no more Throscids since that first one I didn't keep.)
