G. quadrisignatus? - Glischrochilus fasciatus

G. quadrisignatus? - Glischrochilus fasciatus
March, Dallas County, Missouri, USA
September 1, 2013
Size: ~ 7.5 mm
Extracted from a Lindgren funnel trap by Jerry Wilson. I believe it's a Nitidulid, likely G. quadrisignatus? To my surprise none listed in BG from Missouri. Confirmation and ID would be appreciated....

Maybe
G. fasciatus instead?

John & Jane,
I think you are exactly right that this is G. fasciatus and not G. quadrisignatus. Oddly enough in the same lindgren trap specimens was also a smaller and more reddish-orange markings one, that should be the G. quadrisignatus. I will post it later today... Thanks for you help.
