Metachroma ? - Metachroma quercatum

Metachroma ? - Metachroma quercatum
Middleburg, Clay County, Florida, USA
April 17, 2011
Size: 3.4mm
Collected at lighted sheet. Another Chrysom*elid bites me. Keyed to the above guess
using (1). 17 spp in FL, 12 of which are covered in the cited ref. So, of those
12, this comes closest to M. quercatum, except for the black legs and head, plus the
body shape is somewhat different. Therefore, if this is Meta*chroma, that leaves 5 other
species, and I did not go to the MCZ to check them out. Suggestions most welcome.
