Moved
Moved from Festive Tiger Beetle.

Within the distributional range of this subspecies and with typical coloration.

subspecies
The individual does look like lecontei, but I notice a disinclination to pay too much attention to subspecies in tiger beetles on BG. But do whatever you feel comfortable with. I do not think any one will dispute that it is lecontei.

It is.
The markings are unlike any other species.

Thanks
Thanks for the id confirmation. I moved both photos to C. scutellaris. Should I move them to C. scutellaris lecontei in accordance with the map in Pearson, Knisley and Kazilek's A Field Guide to Tiger Beetles of the United States and Canada?
