Moving this to nigricornis group
...but cannot say with 100% certainty whether it is O. nigricornis or O. forbesi. These are the most difficult species to separate. Only a recording of the male's song at a known ambient temperature allows one to say for certain which of the two species it is. Females cannot be ID'd by appearance = only by association with males.

The extreme eastern U.S. is felt not to have O. forbesi.

Southern Ontario is close to Ohio - known to have both species.
