Plagiostira species - Plagiostira gillettei - Female
North Houserock Valley, Coconino County, Arizona, USA
July 31, 2005
Based on the width and sculpturing of the pronotum, this is apparently Plagiostira gillettei ssp. gillettei. It looks very different from the two photos of ssp. utahensis already here on BugGuide, to the degree that I would wonder if they are even really the same species!
