L. megacephalus Grouvelle -- det. M.C. Thomas
his note: "A VERY nice picture of
L. megacephalus
Grouvelle. Note the tuft of long setae on the antennal scape and the shape of the epistome. This specimen has somewhat the coloration of
L. fasciatus
, but
L. megacephalus
is quite variable in color and I have seen specimens like this before."
Moved from
Laemophloeus fasciatus

Thanks v & Dr. Thomas!
any chance of finding still other Laemophloeus sp. (such as L. woodruffi) in South Jersey? Previously, I thought I was only seeing L. fasciatus and biguttatus, but I'll post all others I find if there's more diversity to be found.
Thanks again,
Tim

Certainly possible
It and L. fervidus could possibly occur in your area.
