ID
According to Doering 1938, the feature important to perlucidus is that the pronotum is "greatly narrower than the head" (as opposed to "only slightly narrower than the head" for grossa and fragorum). Is that the case here? I find it hard to judge the width but it doesn't look that much narrower.
