several possible in Oklahoma
The OK list includes; Bolbocerosoma biplagiatum, B. bruneri, B. confusum, B. lepidissimum and B. p. pusillum. Having said that, it may actually be possible to ID to sp. since those black markings are surprisingly diagnostic. This isn't bruneri [in guide already], so a new one for the guide anyway.
