i agree, Lobopoda
advice: in cases like this one, consult Checklist of Florida Tenebrionidae -- a very helpful illustrated source
NB: i took the liberty to link the two pix; if not the same individual, pls unlink

Lobopoda
v: Tks for the confirmation of genus. I arrived at it via Arnett's
Vol II, and checked the link you included. I did not pick any of
the species, esp erythrocnemis mainly because of the size (>10mm).
I don't know how important that is yet, nor how many specimens it
takes to arrive at an average size. None of the five listed species
had been collected in Clay county (which is not surprising as this
county has been poorly documented). The two photo's are of the same
specimen. I added the comment of a data postiing as the current
listing does not indicate an image for this month. Thanks again.
