Parasitic Flat Bark Beetle - Catogenus rufus
Parkwood, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
August 24, 2007
Size: 9 mm
Detail of elytra. In their description, the Dillons (1) say the elytra are striate, not punctate. However I see some small punctures here in the intervals between striations, I think.
