Longhorn Beetle - Clytoleptus albofasciatus

Longhorn Beetle - Clytoleptus albofasciatus
Miami Woods Forest Preserve, Morton Grove, Cook County, Illinois, USA
July 21, 2005
Size: ~10mm
The bag of Sphenopholis intermedia seed collected by volunteers contained a longhorn beetle, which we're guessing is either Euderces or Phymatodes. We chilled him and took the ventral image, but he was up and running almost immediately for the dorsal view.

Moved from Euderces.

I'm not a beetle expert, but it looks like the "red form" of Euderces picipes.

 
Not Euderces. Note that Eude
Not Euderces. Note that Euderces spp have a white callous area for their markings. This guy has the white areas formed from hairs or setae.

 
Ok, what do folks think about
the possibility of Clytoleptus albofasciatus, Yanega fig 202a. Can't see the legs in Yanega's figure however, but can see them in this Florida image.

 
Doesn't seem right for E. picipes
Yanega's book says Euderces picipes (red or otherwise) does not have the second set of light-colored oblique spots, though E. pini does.

I must confess there are several close species here, and I would be reluctant to try to single one out.
