Ken was absolutely right about x.r.-sizing caution, but...
...it still looks like the initial placement was the correct one

Moved from Harmostes.

Moved back...
... as per Ken's insight; less these photo be used by others for identification. Thank you Ken!

Moved from Harmostes reflexulus.

I'm not sure...
I suspect that the ID info was meant to help folks separate the two common Eastern species. I don't know if it's sufficient in California, where there may be more possibilities. The only CA specimens identified as reflexulus are yours--and a number of similar submissions have been left at the genus level by the experts. Just an observation, for what it may be worth. :)
