Enaphalodes - Enaphalodes hispicornis - Female
Chiricahua Mts., Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 18, 2007
Size: 33 mm
I'm certain that this is Enaphalodes, but I'm not sure what the difference is between E. hispicornis and E. seminitidus. E. seminitidus as posted on the guide seems less pubescent, and this one is more pubescent, so I'm leaning towards E. hispicornis. But some specimens lose their pubescence in capture, so not sure. Can someone explain what the distinguishing features are for these two species? Pretty sure this is a female as the antennae are shorter than the body.

Should be hispicornis
E. seminitidus basically has no appressed hairs on the elytra while E. hispicornis has dense but inconspicuous hair. Yours has pubescence visible so I'd go with hispicornis.

Thanks for the clarification
Thanks for the clarification on seminitidus. That's an easy way to distinguish them!
