Anisomorpha ferruginea
Closely related to A. buprestoides, but smaller, with narrower stripe down back, with head less elongate, and with tubercles on sides of pronotum more prominent. Also, A. ferruginea ranges much further north (A. buprestoides I suspect is not found in Oklahoma at all).

 
Excellent catch David.
We'll move these. If you get a chance, can you stroll through the other images of buprestoides in the guide and see if any catch your eye as likely ferruginea. We remember a while back looking through maps and trying to figure out which images were taken in the mountains and which in the coastal plain. And it would be especially helpful to have you look at the images that are sitting on the genus page (which includes 146674 from Oklahoma)and move those into the guide. Thanks again
