South Dakota record
This is the first BG South Dakota record for the genus and probably for the species if that can ever be determined

Moving back to genus for now
Moved from End Band Net-wing.

Calopteron reticulatum
I think this is C. reticulatum. The elytral ridge heights seem to alternate, plus no transverse dip.

Rusty antennomeres
I think I can see patches of brown at base of antennae. That's why I don't think it's Calopteron discrepans. If closeup available to load, that would be helpful.

Calopteron terminale (end-band net-wing beetle)
Looks like this is the first BugGuide photo of this species (assuming I ID'd it correctly) from South Dakota
