Antennae not sharply serrate?
I am looking at some of these beetles from close by in northern Maine (Lindgren funnel with alpha-pinene). I wonder if this this may be a different species? The key on the BugGuide genus page says this species has: "Antennae sharply serrate". The other species in the genus have: "Antennae weakly to moderately serrate".

 
Front view
Dear Frank, the picture from the top does not show the serration. I added a front view.

 
Serrate antennae
Ah ha, I see. This looks very similar to the beetles I have. Will post soon for a Maine record. To me they are gigantic compared to most other Eucnemidae. Thank you!
