Selenophorus (s. str.) parumpunctatus Dejean - Selenophorus parumpunctatus - Female
Big Pine Key, Monroe County, Florida, USA
February 9, 2008
Size: ABL ~5.7 mm
Captured by "Purrington & Drake". This set of rough yet instructive images was taken with a basic Kodak camera in autofocus simply held over ocular lens of stereomicroscope. This is a frassable placeholder for a species new to BugGuide until better images come along.

Range: southern FL + West Indies. Dx: This Selenophorus (s. str.) differs from similar S. fatuus by pronotum with less defined hind angles, elytra with seriate punctures larger and usually all co-strial.
