so happy to see these snap into places
great job curating the cryptocephaline section, Mike --thank you so much again

 
wish I could do more w/ the western pachys...
some day...

 
some day, yes
you're getting there, that's for sure
hope you move to sort out some more distinctive phenotypes to tmp pages --maybe in Bledius, too?
i suspect Bledius, just like their close collaborators, the heterocerids, have a rather complicated and confusing variation in secondary male characters, such as the armament of the mandibles and prothorax [not that i have any real experience with either of these cool burrower groups]
