Sorry Tom; re-evaluated with help from Serge LePlante. Unfortunately Danosoma is not well defined; Arnett's treatment did do a lot to separate the species. I am not sure what I used for identifying that specimen the first time but a re-examination of the groove/foveae on the pronotum does seem to support brevicorne


Moved from Danosoma obtectum.

it is obtectum...
I clicked the wrong species. If you hadn't said anything I would've missed my mistake! Sorry about that.

I hope this is D. obtectum; it'd be new for me!

That would be nice!
I have a few others from this same outing that will be posted soon. Then I'll have to mail you the specimens in the next week or so.
