Odonteus sp. - Odonteus darlingtoni - Female
Sumter, Sumter County, South Carolina, USA
November 22, 2007
This has tentatively been identified as either a female Odonteus darlingtoni or O. liebecki. If it's possible to know exactly which species, I'd certainly appreciate knowing.

based on locale
I'd say this is darlingtoni [coastal plain], vice liebecki [mostly piedmont] - otherwise impossible to tell females apart from a photo [sometimes tough even with a specimen!]
