Xylotrechus sagittatus
Hwy 55 and Sedwick, Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
July 18, 2004
Size: 20 mm
Found at a light. Chilled and posed. Length measured at 20 mm. I belive this to be X. sagittatus, based on the collection at North Carolina State University Entomology, which lists X. colonus (158 pinned) and X. sagittatus (76 pinned), as well as the photo at Gallery of Florida Insects--beetles, plus the illustration in Yanega. (1) See guide page for details.
