Pseudaptinus lecontei
in agreement with V. Belov. Not given MO status in the catalogue by Bousquet & Larochele (1993) so this specimen could very well represent a new state record. Comes closest to known occurrence in TX-LA-MS. I will pass this on to Yves Bousquet. Nice!

sounds fine to me; maybe another P. lecontei
consider contacting Peter Messer to arrange for examination of your specimens
