Gene...this dark form of P. excisus does appear very similar to P. brachyrhynchus. But that species has a relatively small theca, whereas this individual have a very large theca...consistent with P. excisus. It also has a thin pollinose stripe along the posterior edge of the vertex, which definitely separates P. excisus from P. brachyrhynchus, the latter lacking such a "post-vertical pollinose stripe".

Unfortunately, this picture (
Unfortunately, this picture (along with many others that I will shortly upload)was taken in 2008 during a summer job I held. As the images was transferred between camera to computer to flash drive to new hard drive, many of the picture dates were lost. I'm afraid it would be hard for me to remember the date.

According to the EXIF data on the image...
...it was created 7/15/08. As long as the date/time was set correctly on your camera, you should be able to use that.
