Lebia sp. - Lebia fuscata
Copyright © 2005 Joyce Gross

Lebia sp. - Lebia fuscata
4 miles east of Ithaca, Tompkins County, New York, USA
May 10, 2004
This looks like it's in the genus Lebia. It looks like Lebia fuscata on this page:
http://www.cbif.gc.ca/spp_pages/carabids/phps/image4_e.php. Also similar to Lebia lobulata on that same page.

Came to porch light at night.

Lebia fuscata
It is an excellent match for Lebia fuscata in the Wagner/Scott Collection.

Nice image
as always, Joyce! Another image from Cedar Creek, but they seem unsure of species and the posterior maculae are very dark or absent.

Superb.
I echo Jim's praise:-) Definitely a Lebia, but taxonomy on the genus is pretty difficult from what I hear. We should try and attract an expert like Kipling Will over here to look at all our ground beetles.
