This beetle's species ID is based on Mike Quinn's photos. It was collected with a Berlese funnel containing detritus from the bank of a flowing stream along Embudo Trl. 193 at 6500 ft elevation, Tijeras 7.5’ quadrangle, Sandia Mountains, Bernalillo Co., NM

This image is derived from a stack of 73 images with a 40 micron increment taken with a reversed Focotar-2 enlarging lens set to F/5.6 + bellows + Nikon D300 camera, and processed with CombineZP software.

ID confirmed by E.G. Riley: very typical looking P. arizonensis
