Good news, bad news.

I think I managed to ID this by referencing the U of Arizona collection, but the name they had on it is so outdated/bad/misspelled? that I can't find the name in the catalog of Heteroptera, or even online! Genus is/was Piezogaster, so moving there for now. Please leave it there so I can find it again:-)

Wow...

I didn't know this was going to be such a stumper! Thanks for tracking down the genus. I shall leave the pic unmoved until you can investigate further. Thanks!

I disagree but can't tell you what it is,

The "frosted" look, enlarged hind fermora, no light strip on head, etc.

the genus is not yet in the Guide; another specimen is shown here -- images almost identical! amazing!
