Synonymy published
see: Etzler et el. 2013. Use of morphology and CO1 barcoding to test the validity of Tetraopes huetheri Skillman (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The Coleopterists Bulletin, 67: 46-49.

In brief, via barcoding and reexamination of morphology, it is concluded by the authors that T. huetheri is a synonym of T. annulatus.

hmmm
These I am a bit confused on....species described in 2007 (http://journals.fcla.edu/mundi/article/view/25100/24431) locality of this image fits, but still unclear as to how this differs from known species...

I have specimens in our collection here that fit the size and description, and are mixed in with T. femoratus. The appendiculate tarsal claws described I want to see imaged, and the lack of elytral chevron I am not clear on what they are referring to....I will image my specimen(s) here and see what we can decide...

I am sure
but I am still unclear of a smoking gun to distinguish this species....Like I said, I have specimens that fit the description fairly well collected in 2005 near Minot...

Tetraopes huetheri
Actually, this specimen and others from the type locality spurred investigation to the separation of T. huetheri from T. femoratus. One of Mike Ivie's students is grinding them and the preliminary assessment, both morphologically and genomically, is that these two species are conspecific. The formal synonymy is pending.

good to know --thanks, Paul.

Yes
I guess that answers that...My specimens will remain mixed!
