Long-horned Beetle - Graphisurus fasciatus - Male
Prairie Haven, Buffalo County, Wisconsin, USA
June 30, 2011
Came to my UV moth lights. I'm wondering if it's a Graphisurus - either fasciatus or despectus. I'm sorry the photo isn't clearer - it may not be possible to ID for sure.

Yes, Graphisurus...
I'd agree with Graphisurus and add that it is G. fasciatus. The darker coloration with diffuse dark bands on the elytra separates it from G. despectus which has the ground color more evenly gray with a distinct, contrasting dark band.
