Leptostylus sp. Longhorn - Astylopsis arcuata

Leptostylus sp. Longhorn - Astylopsis arcuata
Montrose, Laurens County, Georgia, USA
July 26, 2012
Size: unable to record
Found on back porch late-night. This is definitely Leptostylus, but it isn't asperatus and it certainly isn't transversus, unless my eyes are really working overtime to deceive me. I note there are supposed to be 5 species in NA, but the Guide only has images of 3. Is this one of the unphotographed?

Excellent Photograph!
Jon,
Thanks to contributors like you, who consistently post exceptional photos, I have no problem frassing consistently inferior images. Would you please take a moment to add some personal info on your account page, particularly your photo equipment and techniques. It would help us all to become better. Thanks
Robert

Waallll, now, that's amazing...
This guy had me completely fooled...Thank you both, dear gentlemen. Robert, I have been meaning for the past month to get around to doing just as you requested, so maybe now I'll get the motivation to do it...It might turn into an article, however, so someone might want to check up and edit it down some :-)....

Comments Hall of Fame
I'm thinking John Maxwell should be the first inductee into the Bugguide Comments Hall of Fame, for his, "WOW, was I off!" Although, in your cas, you weren't that far off. It's my all-time favorite and I use it freely ... always giving him credit. Thanks to my promulgation, he's even considering putting it on his grave.

Har!! And here simple me..
thought I was being original with the idea of engraving a few choice words on my funerary urn (it's a toss-up between a couple of my more colorful blurts). And no, I can't repeat them here....
