Surely, Arhopalus .
It might be A. deceptor (Sharp, 1905) or A. tibetanus (Sharp, 1905), both described from Tibet.
Are the eyes pubescent or hairless? |

the second one sp50 is probably not Cephalallus oberthueri, which was be found in N.India & Myanmar.
the leg's color is different. One is black another is red. |

the 3rd sp. also 2000m+ but is different valley.
so they are 3 specimens from 3 different localities.

Yes: the specimens with an only central depression on the pronotum belong to Cephalallus.
Red specimens of C. oberthueri belong to the variety unicolor (Gahan, 1906). |

| If the eyes are really hairless (use microscope!), the first is A. tibetanus. |
