says Doug Yanega:
"The head and antennae are classic
deficiens
. In fact, they are dead-on for every diagnostic feature of
decipiens
versus the other similar
Oberea
. A fairly rare species, incorrectly classified as a synonym of
tripunctata
for decades (by Chemsak, who never examined Casey's types, and synonymized Casey's names based on material misidentified by other workers, such as Knull), and thus it is almost never correctly IDed in collections except by people using my book. Also, the plant they are on is
Viburnum opulus
(or something very close), and not a maple at all. This is a viburnum-specialist taxon, and
opulus
is VERY maple-like.
"That would be a great pair of specimens to grab for some genetic work, given the need for resolution among these NE
Oberea
."
