Okay, I give up :)
How did you get to species on this one? I can't even begin to make out pronotal tubercles or profemoral spines, which seem to be what you need to see according to the Info Page.

I'm not saying you're wrong; I just want you know what you're seeing that I'm missing.

Thanks!

Sorry.
I can say I'm wrong! I was basing ID on guessing: that there probably weren't 2 species in the neighborhood, drswammy ID'd this one previously and BG distribution.

No problem.
It's hard to say how many species are in the neighborhood using BG distribution info, since we have specimens of only four of the 14 possibilities.
