Dichelonyx albicollis (Burmeister), female
Moved from Dichelonyx. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom.

This is a very large individual, 13 to 14 mm depending on how you measure it. Although the central pronotal sulcus and its setae are indistinct, no other eastern species gets this large. The genitalic sclerites also match the figures in J.F. Cornell's unpublished thesis.
