Lathrobium (Lathrobioma) sp., female
Moved from
Lathrobium
. ID verified from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Tom.
The subgenus is tentative, but seems to be in Lathrobioma as described by Casey (1905). Genus probably needs revision before species names can be reliably placed. Seems to be close to L. scolopaceum (Casey), though his keys are noxious.
