Penta - Menecles insertus
Salt Lake City, (N40°46.727'W111°52.629'ele4609'), Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
October 30, 2007
Size: 11mm
Placed here because of the hind tibial groove (present on all legs), pronotum seems more rounded than other examples seen in this taxon. ID corrections welcome.

This means...
the hind tibial groove is not a positive singular characteristic for Euschistus?

I guess not:-)
I just call them as I see them, and this one was obvious (head sunken into pronotum, overall shape).
