This is now Oulema. What color is the under surface? It looks more like O. sayi to me but could still be collaris.

Thanks
Once a year I try to travel somewhere different in the states, and this trip was with the butterfly club to the Great Dismal Swamp and a few other areas while driving around.

Lema collaris
From Virginia this time. Your beetles come from all over the place.
Looks like Lema collaris. Compare with the ones from Cedarcreek: http://www.cedarcreek.umn.edu/insects/album/024107013ap.html
Think it´s not in the guide yet.
