Moved from Indiopsocus.

OK, there were 2 males with this ID #
I examined both carefully and the hypandria of both had the median strap divided into two, a major right hand strap and a minor left hand strap.. making them I. ceterus.

I'd like to see this one, pretty please.
How are you distinguishing ceterus from texanus?

 
Not Shure
All I know is, Dr. Mockford says this is definitely NOT texanus



and this one definitely is



Perhaps texanus thorax more yellow? You''ll be getting these shortly, so we'll know for sure.
