The last one probably is a species of Chrysotus.

1. Hercostomus, but none of the species we have here in Finland. This genus is large in Central and Southern Europe but very poorly represented in the boreal zone.
2. Chrysotus gramineus

I wondered about Hercostomus but was undecided because of the body colour and rather long antennae...
And I admire your courage to state that the Chrysotus is graminues...
