Moved from Water, Rove, Scarab, Long-horned, Leaf and Snout Beetles.

I am not an expert on this family at all, but I was just reading about the genus Vasaces. There are several species known from Arizona, two of which were described from single specimens found in the Huachucas, another from the Chiricahuas. Did you happen to keep the specimen?
