Lasiopogon - Lasiopogon tetragrammus - Male
Crex Meadows, Burnett County, Wisconsin, USA
May 23, 2009
Size: approximately 8 mm
This photo was taken at the side of a gravel road through this prairie/barrens area in far northwestern Wisconsin. I couldn't find any photos to help with species ID. I did see a second individual at another site in this area.

Lasiopogon
This sure looks like L. tetragrammus to me, with the very rounded epandria, tergites with significant white patches, and four scutal stripes. Definitely not L. terricola, probably not L. opaculus. Cool, because that'd be a new state record. Specimens collected would be very useful!

Lasio
The choices in WI are indeed limited. But this genus is essentially not definable by photographs other than group eliminations. Choices are terricola (bare scutellum, legs red-yellow) and opaculus (central gray stripes of abdomen forming triangles), a new species, or tetragrammus, a species not yet found in WI but northern. We would need a male.
