identified as Rhizophagus brunneus brunneus by TC McElrath, based on the truncate terminal antenna segment (withdrawn into itself) and the turned-up edge of the pronotum. I used Bousquet's key for identification.

Photo taken on a Microptics Digital Imaging System with a Canon EOS-1D Mark II and montaged with Helicon Focus 5.1
