Moved

Moved from Apoecilus cynicus.

Sorry about the extra move, got mixed up at first. This looks very consistent with Podisus maculiventris that I reared out from Grant County, NM.

Moved

Moved from Apoecilus cynicus.

This one should probably be reconsidered given the comments below.

Dr. Thomas probably has a better understanding of this than I do

But how sure was he? This really looks more like Podisus to me. I didn't know wing membranes got that light in Apoecilus. The faint black lines where the wings come together look Podisus-like as well. Haven't seen too many Apoecilus from the Southwest though, so maybe it's just regional differences.
