Prionus? - Prionus imbricornis - Female
Somerville, Morgan County, Alabama, USA

Beetle friends, help me out. I found this beetle nearly dead - she barely even moved. I'm thinking it seems to be something in or near Prionus. It looks strikingly similar to californicus which it should not be over here in Alabama. But I'm not certain exactly what it might be, as Coleoptera are not my forte. Thanks in advance.

Ah-ha!
There we go, that's more like it! I was looking in the wrong subgenus. Thank you for the help with the ID.
