I have no record of this spec
I have no record of this specimen in my collection. Tom, I do have 2 Acmaeodera variegata from AZ; Graham Co., Stafford, June 23, 2008. They were ID'ed by Rick Westcott. I've gone through your AZ pics of buprestids from 2008 and I couldn't find any Acmaeodera that were from Graham Co. on June 23, 2008. I hope this helps.
