Hemierana marginata
-
Cole Mill Road access, Eno River State Park, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
June 13, 2009
Size: 11-13 mm (est)
Pair mating on what I believe is Wingstem,
Verbesina alternifolia
. It looks like this must be a host plant for the species.
Image updated 6/15/20.

subspecies assignment H. m. marginata
Mike, I do not understand the assignment of this to subspecies H. m. marginata. The only image I can locate of that subspecies is at
Cerambycidae of Florida
.
Yanega pictures H. m. ardens, which looks similar to my images, other that in mine, there is no orange on the humeral angle of the elytra. (However in a lateral view of the mating pair I have, you can see a bit.) Yanega says this extension onto the elytra is present "sometimes" in ardens.

used my photo below (taken nearby to these) for his illustration of H. m. ardens:
He says that H. m. marginata has "dense elytral pubescence along sides and suture" as does the photo of H. m. marginata from Cerambycids of Florida. I think all my photos from Durham NC are H. m. ardens. They lack the pubescence described by Evans and present in the Florida Cerambycids specimen.
