small Brown Beetle - Cymatodera aegra-complex
San Pedro River Valley area, SE of San Manuel, Pinal County, Arizona, USA
July 26, 2011
Size: approx 10 mm
Sonoran Desert area, many Creosote bushes nearby, comes to light at night, elev 2800 feet; I think this also is a Antlike Flower Beetle, but it looks different than most others around the thorax.
