#2 and #3 are Pterynotus pinnatus (Swainson, 1822). In older books it may be listed as Pterynotus alatus.
#1 is going to take a little thought. It looks rather immature. What is the size of this specimen? Do you know where it was collected? Can you possibly provide a better picture?  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2007-06-19 23:28:31 --</span>
