I tried to key it out with American Beetles, but aside from Curculionids, there isn't a group I've tried to key that's given me more problems than Cerambycids. I think it's at least in Graciliini, but could be completely wrong. It's from the Keys (collected with permits), so it could be interesting). If you need more photos, let me know.

It would be great to hear from Mike Thomas
but he hasn't commented in a couple of months. Must be busy out in the field. Maybe Vassili will post something.

I agree
with Curtomerus flavus. Surgery went well. Am in physical therapy now to restore function to hand.

Didn't try to key it,
but wonder if it might be Curtomerus flavus?

Curtomerus
Could be, it looks a little too hairy, but the hairs could have worn off my specimen... Something doesn't look quite right.

After looking in the guide as
After looking in the guide as well, this seems like a good fit, but I'll wait for another weigh in unless you think I should go ahead and move it.
