Two Unidentified Beetles - Batyle suturalis

Two Unidentified Beetles - Batyle suturalis
Geneseo, Henry County, Illinois, USA
June 24, 2005
I got this shot of three beetles on the same flower, two of which I have never seen, nor can I identify them. Can anyone tell me what the two other than the weevil are? I have found some that resemble the red longhorn, but I don't feel that they are close enough to call a match. Both are very tiny, with the small one being approximatly 4mm and the red on 8mm. Thanks.

Cryptocephalus incertus
Image here, and perhaps same as

Batyle suturalis
The red longhorn is Batyle suturalis, and the other one is a member of the Chrysomelidae, subfamily chrysomellinae, maybe in the genus Zygogramma. Anyone else have an idea?

 
weevil: Baridinae, Chrysomelid: Cryptocephalinae
both are big groups, and not easy to get to species
