Very narrow Carabid - Stenomorphus sinaloae
Canelo Hills, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA
September 4, 2010
Size: 16.5 mm

Moved
Moved from Stenomorphus.

This is even more elongated
than our usual Stenomorphus. In the UAIC as S. sinaloae Darlington det Darlington (the UAIC specimen)

 
UAIC collection comparisons
so you don't think this may warrant a sp. page yet? i saw your moving some of your carabids while leaving others where they were with just comments like this one

 
I wanted to make sure
by checking the literature source (ordered) but distribution and several very similar specimen that were ided by the expert are quite convincing. Unter Vorbehalt..

Moved from Ground Beetles.

Stenomorphus?
Not to be confused with the teneb, Stenomorpha. They are elongate like this, but I have never seen them in AZ myself (but you post several things I never collected in AZ....Grr.....lol).

Cool beetle
I'm a newbie when it comes to AZ fauna but it looks like a Pterostichine that has been stretched lengthwise :-) We don't get much weird & neat stuff like this up in Canada!

Definitive source
for species separation is now added to the genus Info page.
