Phyllophaga
Neat beetle.

Perhaps I could implore you to save some Arizona Phyllophaga for me. I'd love to take a look at the western species.

I'd be glad to send you some,
if I get IDs for my photos that way (:

Thanks both of you.
I'd definitely welcome any Phyllophaga from out that way. I've been meaning to add some more species to the guide, but haven't had much time for that lately. If you would like to share and get some ID'd (as best I can) I would certainly welcome the challenge.

Brad.
You might want to contact Bob Androw at the Carnegie Museum. He is now also 'into' this genus, and I've been sending my recent specimens to him. Should have a few to spare for you, maybe:-)
