Flower Longhorn Beetle - Strangalia famelica - Male
Ozark Mountains, Searcy County, Arkansas, USA

On ox-eye daisy. I assume this is a flower longhorn, but I cannot determine which one.

Strangalia famelica solitaria...
...another example of the Ozarkian population with all black pronotum see also. Interesting basal elytral markings on this specimen. Despite the black head and pronotum, individuals from this population can be distinguished from S. acuminata by the light coloration on their legs.

Thanks for the ID
I suspected this was another Strangalia famelica solitaria but all those "interesting" variations make it impossible for a tyro to fell comfortable with making an ID.

A back-to-basics question: This is a male and the "see also" example you've linked is a female?

Based on the last abdominal segments...
...I think you have the sexes correct.
