Are these variations within a sp. or should they be separate listings?

I think you have two different Oxycanus species in the photos here, but unless you have closer up photos with the anrennae in focus it will be difficult to distinguish them anyway. So yes separate them into two postings. All are male, I think, but some have reddish as opposed to yellowish antennae.

I think they are all variants of O. dirempta
