Trichiotinus affinis
Newfound Gap, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 9, 2008
Size: 10 mm
I believe I've keyed this correctly using Phil's descriptions/keys (1). (Correction below.) Size estimated based on reported literature value, 7-10 mm.
Search for photos from gathering_2008.
Thanks for correction to T. affinis 6/25/16. Some day I am going to learn to key these correctly!
Larger image and another detail image posted 6/26/16.
