Hypoganus rotundicollis
ID confirmed by examination of voucher specimen

Moved, Hypoganus 'rotundicollis'
I put the species in quotes as some names may change. I look forward to this; it should be a new species for me and it would be nice to have a representative of this morphotype.

Thanks to Paul Johnson for the clarification.

Moved from Selatosomus.

Moved, Selatosomus sp.
I will need to snoop around more, and may have to wait until I see the specimen. Ecoregion can be important, is Westwood in the Sierras?

Moved from Click Beetles.

 
Yes ...
... Westwood is located at the extreme Northeastern boundary of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, with a significant presence of Great Basin flora. I have a nice mountain top panoramic photo posted on my BG profile page of the Westwood Mountain Meadows basin.

 
on second thought...
this might be a Hypoganus. Need to snoop around some more!
