Chrysomelid - Zeugophora abnormis

Bow River, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
June 20, 2008
Size: 5 mm

Syneta sp.? Taken from riparian vegetation along the river; sorry about the bad condition of the specimen- this was collected and mounted long before I started pointing my small stuff (will frass if necessary).

Zeugophora abnormis

I think this is Zeugophora abnormis. Compare with a type specimen here

Ed Riley says, "Zeugophora is a mess - that's a good guess"

[i do not know whether the rhyme was intentional. =v=]

Thanks...but

now I feel bad for it as I didn't realize it was something uncommon- will see whether I can find another specimen this season.

you should feel bad more often, Tim :)

you routinely collect very nice stuff, well worth meticulous preservation -- and cleaning, too.
i always tried to clean every interesting specimen, mechanically (thin paintbrush, 000 ento pins) and/or 'chemically' (by keeping in diluted EtOH or aqueous detergent/soap solution, etc) -- they look pristine after that
