Paradonus pectoralis (Say) - Paradonus stibicki

Moved tentatively to P. pectoralis

Looks good according to Stibick (1990); the other species recorded from OK is P. beckeri, which this is not. Still, tough group w/o specimen in-hand.

Keep in mind, some of Stephan's records may have pre-dated Stibick's redefining of pectoralis

Moved from Paradonus.

hmmm...

i have Paradonus that look exactly like this coming to my porch lights along with the much darker ones with faint elytral maculae, just like the one below, but otherwise the pale & the dark ones look exactly the same (punctation, pronotal angles, habitus...) -- i suspect that obliquatulus may exhibit much more color variation than reflected in(1)

pectoralis?

The only sp. that Karl Stephan reported(1) from nearby Latimer Co., OK was 24 spmns of Paradonus pectoralis (Say)
