Nice find
Very good find, Dorothy. There is an interesting article about this species in Beetles in the Bush.

Thanks, Pat!
Little did I suspect it was in another genus, but I guess it does have a round thorax! The article was really interesting, didn't know that it was considered rare, albeit locally common in some places in Missouri. I put a link to it on my website.
