Colliuris (Calocolliuris) lioptera (Bates, 1891)
Among the four species of Colliuris catalogued for Arizona by Bousquet (2012), the best fit for the descriptions as reviewed by Bousquet (ZooTaxa 2529:1-39, 2010) is C. lioptera.

Margarethe, I'm developing quiet an interest in southwestern caraboids and so I hope you are able to reconsider bypassing Wendy on an occasional extra specimen to send my way for study and identification. So you know, my personal reference collection is willed to the Insect Research Collection at UW-Madison.

For your studies I can e-mail to you a caraboid species checklist just for Arizona that I recently filtered from the catalogue by Bousquet (2012). Also I could send you a list of my caraboid holdings to let you know where my species voids are. If you or Wendy would like some Wisconsin species in exchange, please let me know about that. Thanks -- Peter

 
Hi Peter
I have actually updated the UAIC carabids using Bousquet's catalogue. So I have access. I am not working there anymore, though (money ran out).
My collecting methods are not very well geared towards carabids. I am running a small business giving naturalists, photographers, scientists and a few collectors access to species that come to black lights and that can be collected in the field (guiding specialized tours on demand). Pit trapping has not been a part of this, but may be next year, because I have a commission to collect AZ tenebs. I will keep my eyes open for extra carabids. You should come out and visit!

 
I had no idea
that you are now running a business like a "safari tour guide" to hunt and shoot (via camera) bugs in Arizona. Good luck on what sounds like a lot of fun. Margarethe, thanks for keeping me in mind.

 
Being self employed
I have to be creative. There is no real free time. But it's working out quite well. Art in winter, bugs in summer

stunning...
