what made you chose this over, say, Coloninae?
Doesn't look at all like other catopocerines

See the data info I entered:

I did not choose. The choice was made already...

I wonder?
Nice photos as always.
I'm no expert, but I've just been working on Colon. Did anyone double check with Bill about this? Peck and Stephan in their 1996 revision would say it's not Colon based on this nice antenna image. The 8th segment can't be reduced like pictured. Unless Bill is saying it is undescribed and breaking some new ground for Colon? Looks more like Ptomaphagus to me but I'm a novice on this subfamily.

Thank you Rick!
I'll check with Bill.
