Three-spotted Click Beetle? - Pseudanostirus tigrinus
Copyright © 2012 Jim Moore

Three-spotted Click Beetle? - Pseudanostirus tigrinus
In Westwood - elevation 5100ft, Lassen County, California, USA
Size: 11.5mm
Looks like Pseudanostirus triundulatus (1); but the range mentioned on the info page does not fit well with this specimen.
Date collected was early 1990's. (I have another 10.5mm specimen collected on June 5, 2005; but the images are not as nice as for this specimen.)

Specimen #039

Moved, pending revisionary work :)
Size (greater than 10 mm) and presence of dark pronotal spots supportive over triundulatus. Eventually, tigrinus may be sunk as a subspecies of nebraskensis.

Moved from Pseudanostirus.
