Hippodamia sinuata spuria
The elytra don't match anything else, although it appears to be borrowing its pronotum from another species.

Is "false H. sinuata"
kind of a pro tem classification until someone decides what it is? There's plenty of them in my area, I can get more/better views.

yes, please!
Chapin's Hippodamia monograph doesn't show any subsp. of H. sinuata with this pronotum, but I'm willing to accept that he might not have looked at *every* H. sinuata in *every* collection when putting together his illustrations. The elytra are certainly a match for H. s. spuria, nothing else looks like it. So if you could get more photos, and maybe a few specimens, that would be great.
