hmm
almost looks like the preapical pronotal impression is punctate, but I can't tell if its real or just an artifact; in any case, several species are known from the southwest...

 
Image Added
I added a blow up. If I understand what you are saying, then I believe that they are not artifacts.

 
Hmm
This might be something besides the common P. bilineatus, but I think a specimen would have to be seen to determine which.

sure; looks a lot like Pangaeus bilineatus, too
but can't be sure about a SW bug

 
Moved to Genus
I take it you mean it's something in Pangaeus but are not certain of species so I moved it to genus. If that's not correct, let me know.

Thanks for the help.
