Stratiomys sp. - Stratiomys discalis

Stratiomys sp. - Stratiomys discalis
Frost Centre near Dorset, Haliburton, Ontario, Canada
June 1, 2004
Size: about 12mm
I checked this picture against the specimens in the insect collection at the University of Guelph. There were two species with a wedge-shaped yellow mark on the side. They are S. adelpha and S. discalis. I could see nothing else to use to separate the two species.
