Identification
Differs from the other subspecies by having larger, denser punctures on the lateral pronotal vittae and these vittae usually much narrower, often accommodating but one row of punctures. Differs further from nominate venatus (northeast), confluens (northwest), and reticulaticollis (southern Mexico) by being generally coated above and below, only the center hump of the median vitta and the narrow lines of the lateral vittae showing through the dorsal coat.(1)
Range
w. US (so.OR-CA-sw.TX) & n. Mexico(1)
