Stichopogon to ID - Stichopogon abdominalis

Stichopogon to ID - Stichopogon abdominalis
Upper Pithlachascotee River Preserve, Pasco County, Florida, USA
July 10, 2016
Perhaps Stichopogon abdominalis?
In the field it first reminded me of the abundant S. trifasciatus but then I noticed the different abdominal pattern.
S. abdominalis would be an uncommon find in this area.

Moved
Moved from Stichopogon.

From the revision
there are only two species in FL and this is definitely not trifasciatus. They often occur together on sand, with tiger beetles.

 
To confirm your comment, Herschel
In addition to the abundant S. trifasciatus, also observed indeed were tiger beetles Cicindela punctulata and this Floridian, C. scabrous. You must be psychic.
