Size: 20 mm

Jim, a German beetle entomologist is identifying the beetle pictures on my pbase site, and is going to start giving id's on bugguide soon. This is one of about 60 he id'd for me in the last couple of days.

Hi Tom,
I've already had some IDed by Boris Büche on bugguide already. I think it's great!
