We consider the Diophantine equation $(x+y)(x²+Bxy+y²) = Dz^{p}$, where B, D are integers (B ≠ ±2, D ≠ 0) and p is a prime >5. We give Kraus type criteria of nonsolvability for this equation (explicitly, for many B and D) in terms of Galois representations and modular forms. We apply these criteria to numerous equations (with B = 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, specific D's, and p ∈ (10,10⁶)). In the last section we discuss reductions of the above Diophantine equations to those of signature (p,p,2).
