Pachybrachis o. othonus ? - Pachybrachis nigricornis - Female
Waterford, Racine County, Wisconsin, USA
June 11, 2010
Size: 4.0mm
Light trap. The elytra on this lady looks like a similar one from TX. Keyed using
(1) to Pachy* and again came up w/o.othonus. This one has the similar pronotum
but again, quite different looking elytra. Is it possible to have this large of a
color variation for the species?

E.G. Riley says:
"looks more like vittate form of P. nigricornis (P. n. autolycus Fall), but really can't see what I need to see (male dink)."
