Coming back
To this. We are still trying to determine the status of missouriensis in our own area. They may in fact all be D. texanus. And some of your VA Diogs may be salutans that have more darkening on the thorax than we knew about. Moving to genus for now.

Thanks Herschel
It looks a lot more like missouriensis, and I see another one from Virginia already on the guide page.

Diogmites
esuriens or missouriensis, depending on whether we think missouriensis occurs much farther east than currently reported.
