thanks v and Ken
Today I looked at Coriomeris specimens at the Essig museum, which has both occidentalis and humilis. I couldn't tell the difference between them, even though I tracked down a copy of the key and in theory knew what to look for.

The Dolling and Yonke paper (1) suggests that humilis may not be west of the Sierras. But there are humilis specimens from pretty much all over the state at the museum.

I wonder if they are really two different species?

I'll probably have another look later this week. Will post something if I figure anything out. BTW, the specimen in the image above is going to Essig.

good to know the voucher specimen goes to Essig
"I wonder if they are really two different species?" --exactly the point i was trying to make; the D&Y paper has failed to convince me, too

Moved tentatively; nice find!
apparently, 2 spp. in Calif.: the transcontinental C. humilis and the endemic C. occidentalis; no idea how to differentiate the two -- the subtle differences i see may or may not be diagnostic, although C. humilis seems to be a closer match to me, while the key(1) seems to slightly favor C. occidentalis, can't really decide

Moved from Leaf-footed Bugs.

Wondering if it might be...
...something in/near Coriomeris:



That's the closest I've been able to get, at any rate.
