Amphigerontia montivaga (Chapman) - Amphigerontia montivaga - Male
Tyler, Smith County, Texas, USA
March 18, 2011
Size: 4.7 mm
Caught beating sparkleberry (Vaccinium arboreum) on the U. T. Tyler campus. This ID is a tricky one. If you tilt the specimen at just the right angle, you can see that there are 2 small spikes at the terminus of the hypandrium. This conforms to Fig. 379 of (1). The hypandrium turns under making this structure very hard to see. For this reason, A. montivaga and A. bifasciata are very hard to differentiate.
