red-pronotum black longhorn - Batyle ignicollis

red-pronotum black longhorn - Batyle ignicollis
low base of Organ Mountains, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, USA
August 11, 2006
Size: 8.2 mm
Collected by beating blooming branches of Apache Plume brush into net. This is the final longhorned beetle from my August trip to New Mexico. With luck, I might post one more from New Mexico. A larva I collected from pecan firewood in my December visit there is still alive. If it pupates and ecloses succesfully, I'll add its photos to bugguide.

Here the beetle is drinking from a droplet of water from my having sprayed the container with a squirt bottle.

Batyle sp?
If this were from the east, I'd say it is in the genus Batyle. Still might be:-)

 
Looks right to me.
Tom has one from Massachusetts that's not as hairy but Charles has pix from Oklahoma that closely resemble this one.

 
Batyle ignicollis
I believe this is Batyle ignicollis but I don't seem to be able to move your image to that species... There are a few other pix in BugGuide ID'ed as Batyle ignicollis, but they too are stuck in genus limbo... MQ, Austin
