Agrilus - Agrilus pensus - female

Agrilus - Agrilus pensus - Female
Schoodic Peninsula, Hancock County, Maine, USA
August 11, 2019
Possibly A. politus?

Edit 31 Jan. 2020 - keyed to A. pensus using Fisher 1928. Images of pointed specimen added. Projecting spine on pygidium eliminates A. politus. Coloration seems to eliminate A. anxius but I know there can be quite a bit of color variation in many Agrilus species. Trying to be a botanist, I believe it was sitting on an alder leaf.
