Moved tentatively; can't exclude A. lobatus
the latter isn't listed for MT but is for ND; the only reliable difference, short of male parts, seems to be the "setose lobe and rounded depression on 1st abdominal segment" in lobatus males but i can't be sure of this one's sex

Moved from Acanthoscelides.

This should be a female -
based on Kingsolver 2004, who notes that the 5th sternum is deeply emarginate in males of both of these species, vs. unmodified in females.
