Tenebrionidae - Philolithus sordidus Minot, Ward County, North Dakota, USA September 11, 1986 Size: 18 mm
I have three of these specimens collected by a student back in the 80's. Quite deep pronotal punctures with single black setae originated from the anterior edge of each puncture... I cannot say if this was actually collected here or if they were collected elsewhere and mislabeled by the student, I have never seen these fellows in the wild during my work around here....
