Found in oak/pine barrens area.

I have Elytroleptus floridanus from Suffolk Co., New York

and the sculpturing on the thorax is a lot less evident than in the photo and the antennae seem more serrate than in the photo (see also here: http://www.fsca-dpi.org/coleoptera/mike/floridacerambycids/Elytroleptus_floridanusMontage.jpg). I'm not so sure....

from Sergei Kazantsev:

"The robust legs suggest Calochromini; I'll check once I'm back home -- can't tell offhand, the color pattern doesn't look familiar"

Just got Yanega's book

I just bought Yanega's Cerambycid book and it arrived yesterday. There on Plate 19 is this guy - Elytroleptus floridanus. Season and range match. What do you think?

i think this is it -- great find, great research job!

this guy fooled a leading lycid expert, so i'm not surprised it fooled me, too...
please look for more, Rick -- we need good images of this oddity... And thanks!

Thanks for the follow up on t

Thanks for the follow up on this. Please note that I corrected the state from North Carolina to New York. Once in awhile I roll my mouse too far down and wind up with a state one or two below the correct one. Last year I had a Tarantula Hawk in CA and wound up showing it as in Delaware. Unfortunately, a couple of people actually took this to be a great geographic rarity.
