This is an adult specimen of Sehirus cinctus. Note that the forewing membrane is visible (reflective in fact in this image), which would not be the case in an ebony bug (forewings completely hidden by enormously expanded scutellum).

Here is a scary bit of info; I am trying to write an insect book for Missouri Insects. Been working at it for almost 3 years!
