I had wondered about that myself...
...The ones that I have submitted from quite a while back seemed to have a longer body, however, the general shape, and markings are very similar. In fact, I was afraid that the overall darkness of these images would prevent people from seeing the markings on the abdomen at all.
Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to take a look at some more photos of S. pipiens!

Mac, also check Tribe Xylotini
Xylota, maybe, but I think there's yet another. And yeah, I almost missed those markings.

Hi, Ron!
Xylotini looks very good to me, too. Maybe someone else will weigh in on this...
