Brochymena sp. - Brochymena affinis
Truckee (Glenshire Neighborhood), Nevada County, California, USA

affinis by hind leg pattern?

These Rough Stink Bugs love my shed and woodpiles and move in for the winter in November every year. I found about 40 behind a panel of chipboard just now, although I'd estimate that about 2/3 were dead husks, including the one I photographed in my hand (note that the antennae are broken on that one). Besides B. sulcata, I have no idea what the options are, nor how to key them out. If you need images of diagnostic features, they'd be easy enough to get off the dead specimens.
