dorsal habitus critical
for beetle identification purposes, the single most important piece of imagery is plain dorsal view; other angles sometimes help a lot, but in the majority of cases are of minor value

dorsal
Thanks for letting me know...I had a dorsal view all along.
Some of these others that are not helpful could be frased?

may well be the case...
a good dorsal would make all the rest redundant
