Stenelmis bicarinata LeConte, female
Moved from Stenelmis. Voucher specimen, tentative ID. Thanks Tom.

Fairly sure about ID, but tough to ID females.
Note that published keys (i.e. Sanderson(1) and Brown(2)) use an incorrect concept of bicarinata; their Stenelmis bicarinata are actually Stenelmis cheryl (see Brown 1987).
