Heterachthes ebenus -  Middleburg, Black Creek Ravines Conservation Area, Clay County, Florida, USA April 4, 2011 Size: 8.8mm
Light trap. This is the male to the previous similar submission. Antenna extends a full
three segments past the elytral apices and all the femora have a deep reddish color on
their first half whereas the female has all black femora. There may be other minor
character differences between them but the best clue for me was that this guy was the
"mounter" and the previous one was the "mountee".
