Moved

As Brad points out, this fits the description for I. reculusus rather than I. immundus. The I. immundus in the guide differs in the features mentioned.

Moved from Inopeplus immundus.

Very cool

I had a similar one that I took pictures of several weeks ago. Nice picture!

Inopeplus immundus Rtt. --det. J.C. Ciegler

her comment: "Its head, excluding eyes, is slightly wider than pronotum; the eyes are convex, not flattened; the punctures of head appear sparse rather than close; and there are four abdominal tergites exposed rather than 3.5. Too bad I didn't get this location in time to make it into my next book. Yes, it is an uncommon beauty, and a fine photo."

Confused by this ID

Perhaps a simple mix-up in the name? The comment above ("head, excluding eyes, is slightly wider than pronotum; the eyes are convex, not flattened; the punctures of head appear sparse rather than close; and there are four abdominal tergites exposed rather than 3.5") is the description of I. reclusa in Ciegler's book (1); I. immundus would then be the opposite of that description.

I agree,

Must've been a simple mix-up of the names.

excellent!

wow. thanks so much. I had plans to save this one after I found it on a piece of clothing after a walk, but I got ambitious and tried to get a photo of it on a log, looking more natural, but an ant ran right up, grabbed it and ran away with it.
