Female Macrosiagon 1 - Macrosiagon flavipennis -

Rialto, San Bernardino County, California, USA
July 20, 2013
Size: BL: Approx. 12mm

Note the coarse punctation and subtle concavity on the elongated frons...which differs from, say, M. dimidiata.

Also, note the truncate shape of the comb-like processes of the antennae...those processes would be bifurcate in M. fernaldum (cf. Fig 13a for flavipenne vs. Fig. 14a for fernaldum in this plate).
