Hello! These two were found on a beach in Buenos Aires, Argentia. They are different individuals, but I think they may belong to the same species. Some help?

Beautiful shots Jorge! Top is a male
Taurhynchus
sp. (essentially = a
Proctacanthus
with a keeled proboscis, T-shaped in X-section).
Below is probably same -- except very teneral (and just emerged from pupal case projecting from sand!).
Cheers,
Eric
