can be separated from T. tetrophthalmus by three characters visible in the image. First, the gray annulations on the antennomeres (antennae all-black in tetrophthalmus); second, the parallel-sided, sharply margined umbone on the pronotum (hexagonal and poorly margined in tetrophthalmus) and third, the reddish femora of femoratus as opposed to all-black in the latter species.

This locality is getting pretty far East for this species, although I have collected it in Allen County, Ohio, in the northwest part of that state. There is a decent series of specimens in the Carnegie Museum collected in SW Pennsylvania, by the late Robert Surdick (data is credible), but despite 25 years of collecting in this area, I have not found it.
