Alydus? - Dacerla mediospinosa

Moved

Moved from Dacerla.

Thanks, Aaron. Ken wrote a number of other supporting comments on his iNat observations from Sagehen, and I think it's a strong case. I believe this is an adult female

Northern CA station here suggests species D. mediospinosa

...per the treatment in Carvalho & Usinger(1957). Moreover, assuming this is an adult, the short hemelytra with no grooves/sutures/veins separating corium, cuneus, and membrane give furthur support to that ID.

For more info, see remarks accompanying post below:

...and references on the D. mediospinosa info page.

On second thought...

the females in Orectoderus are brachypterous, and the hemelytra don't extend so far back

So, back to Dacerla? https://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?enlarge=7777+7777+0910+0091

I suspect Dacerla.

I think you're onto it

Antennae best fit female obliquus: http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/bitstream/handle/2246/6093/N3703.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

This is similar too, but appears that the pronotum peaks much further forward in mine: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1160381/bgimage
