Male, Dyscinetus laevicollis? - Dyscinetus laevicollis - Male
Canoa Ranch Rest Area (northbound) Hwy 19, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
July 31, 2019
Size: 18 mm
Coordinates: 31.765774, -111.034543
Elevation: 2,998 ft
Yesterday, I stopped at the Canoa Ranch Rest Area (northbound) around 10:00 AM on my way to Phoenix, and had the fortune to find one male beetle that I believe to be D. laevicollis. Unfortunately, it was crushed. It looks like someone stepped on him. I was happy to have the creature because this would allow me to take photos of his private parts for a conclusive ID.
Dr. Brett Ratcliffe said: "The smooth pronotum and elytra in combination with the parameres indicates D. laevicollis!! Nice catch."
