Unknown cactus longhorn - Moneilema appressum
Pajarito Mountains, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
July 29, 2010
Size: 22 mm body length
Found on a prickly pear cactus. Pronotum completely rounded with no trace of lateral spikes, but it's the elytra that are confusing me... Can't really find any photos of beetles on here where the elytra are both punctured and striated.
