Moved

Moved from ID Request.

I've taken the liberty of placing the photo to species. The third antennal segment is distinctly more than twice as long as the second and the elytral apices are obliquely truncate. If you're into subspecies, this would be A. confusa dorsalis, the first photo for the guide as all the other photos (at present) represent the nominate (and eastern) form. This taxon has become very familiar to me of late as I have several pieces of incense cedar which have been spitting out specimens at an alarming rate.

Looks like

Atimia to me. Are you sure it's a lamiine?

No...

You must have the right ID. The color and shape of the head looked like it to me but I am not an expert on Bycids by any means. Diverse group...
