BG976 C9379 - Neoptychodes trilineatus
Warnerton, at convenience store, Washington Parish, Louisiana, USA
June 12, 2007
Size: body length 24.2 mm.
Large, showy Long-horned Beetle, figured we would have it identified in 5-10 minutes. We checking BugGuide images of Long-horned Beetles,(all 72 pages)(twice!) and looked through our fieldguides and other internet resources and came up empty.
Proper placement would be appreciated.

Thought it might be close but the colors look almost reversed.

Cool, here is a male from Jamaica.
