Wish I'd been there.

I've yet to collect this family, plus the chance to search for and find the females would have been exciting.

this is certainly Anorus arizonicus, and if they're coming in in large numbers, I'd be out in the dark looking for their larviform females; they remain undiscovered....re....Blaisdell 1934 Rare North American Coleoptera. Transactions of the American Entomological Society 60:317-326

from Matt Gimmel:

"This thing knocked around in my brain for upwards of an hour before I determined it to be the karumiinae dascillid Anorus. Crystal Maier confirmed this ID for me using Mike Ivie's collection (we have only one ragged CA specimen here). Three described species in the southwest. A new subfamily for the guide!"

I completely missed this post!

Thank you so much - and Dr. Gimmel and collegue!The beetles are still turning up by the hundreds at the light. I can see how they get ragged in collections - they start out ragged. But if anyone wants them frozen and in a swap of tissue with alcohol for transport - I can get them right now.
