Female Macrosiagon 1 - Macrosiagon flavipennis - Female
Rialto, San Bernardino County, California, USA
July 20, 2013
Size: BL: Approx. 12mm
Oblique dorsal view. Note the punctation of the vertex of the head, and its pronounced elevation above the pronotum. And also the distally well-separated, sharply tapered elytra...characteristic of Macrosiagon.

The dark brown wings and sharply acute tibial spines here are characteristic of M. flavipennis, vs. tibial spines truncate and wings yellowish-hyaline for M. fernaldum, according to Rivnay.
