species?
Couldn't determine if parvulus or variegatus? Kinda straddles the known range of both. I've found variegatus in Albuquerque and eastern NM, and parvulus makes it to OK. The easiest way to separate the two species is the odd intervals on the elytra. In parvulus they are rounded to almost flat. Variegatus has them almost carinate. Unfortunately the scaly vestiture makes this hard to see in this photo. I find all my variegatus on dead willow or cottonwood whereas parvulus is usually on oak. Comparing with some long series I have, I would guess parvulus for this one.
