Question

According to my opinion the insect is Phloeosinus but I am not sure if it is aubei or armatus or something else.

Answer

Dear Ioannis. It looks like a Phloeosinus gallery. My advice is: try to to dig out an imago and if you have some magnifying glass see the back part of elytra. P. armatus elytras looks totaly different as P. aubei. See these links: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288363228_A_new_additional_record_of_Phloeosinus_armatus_Reitter_from_Italy_Coleoptera_Curculionidae_Scolytinae/figures?lo=1 https://www.dreamstime.com/bark-beetle-phloeosinus-aubei-bark-beetle-phloeosinus-aubei-isolated-white-background-image101436421 All the best, Juraj

Hello,the pictures show the galleries of long horne beetles (Cerambycidae). Probably species from the genus Tetropiu, e.g. Tetropiu fuscum. These are species whose larvae live on dead or weakened coniferous trees.Nice photos. Best regardsJozef Vakula
