Hey Bruce
Sorry, I inadvertently put Arizona when I meant Brewster Co., Texas! My mistake. Yes, A.rubronotata is quite common here in AZ and I've seen many of them. So,now I don't know what it is, unless A. ornata occurs west to W. Texas? A. rubronotata has quite a bit of red on the posterior of the elytra. Maybe its A. ornatoides?

Hello, Bob...
I was assuming that the red spots are in shadow.

Although A. flavopicta in AZ has a distinctly bluish base color, I have some from western Texas that are dark brown. So, I will tentatively call this A. flavopicta pending final decision by the expert.
