I found a lot of these beetles recently. Is this genus Chlaenius? Also one group was found with several false blister beetles among them. Is this coincidence?

Chlaenius-yes
Yes, I believe the pubescence and the punctures on the elytra are distinctive for that genus.
I'll move to guide--ID Request is very busy.
