Smaller one, but looks the same. No legs.

Hi Igor, difficult to be sure, but it's most probably a Scolytus sp. and on malus branches it could be the small (1.8 - 2.5 mm) S. rugosus. Maybe we could get closer if we see the galleries.

Thank you, Eric. You are right. Several beetles were found in the same branches.
