I have attempted to compare

your images to both species I have specimens of that I know are pests of carrot, L oregonensis and L. texanus and neither seems to fit well morphologically. This is an interesting specimen since you have emergence data with it, and would be interesting to do genitalic dissection to nail down the species, which if it was something different the info would add to hostplant knowledge of this genus. Id be happy to do the dissection so you can have a reliable ID.

Specimen found

Hello Guy -- It turns out this specimen didn't get thrown out after all, but was in the freezer at the college all this time. Would you still be interested in examining it? I'd be happy to send it to you. Btw my email is johnbvdl *AT* gmail *DOT* com.

Great; thanks so much, Guy!

I'll track down the specimen and would be happy to send it your way. To what address should I send it?

Hello Guy

Thanks so much for checking in again and for being willing to take a look at this weevil. Unfortunately, after searching carefully through my collection today, I was unable to locate the specimen. Some of my specimens, stored in a freezer at a local college, got thrown out last year after my "lease" on the freezer space expired, and I suspect this weevil was in that batch. So I am sorry to say I don't have the specimen for you. However, I will certainly keep an eye out for more opportunities to rear this animal again in the future, and if I do rear it again I will contact you.
