small, active larva, red oak bark, now an imago (adult) - Canifa pallipes
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 15, 2008
Although I failed to find the larva (or pupa) in the rearing container, I discovered this tiny adult beetle when I opened the rearing container day-before-yesterday. If these several shots are not sufficient for ID to species, I have the voucher (specimen) in alcohol.

I was struck by the radically emarginate eyes that I would expect only on a ceram*bycid.

Thanks, Belov.
That species is one of three on Don Chandler's list for New Hampshire.
(The others are plag*iata and pu*silla.)
