Ligyrocoris obscurus Barber, male
Moved from Zeridoneus costalis. ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Lisa.

I'm pretty sure this is right. This is an intermediate species, with characters of both Zeridoneus and Ligyrocoris. Its pronotum is very similar to Zeridoneus but it has faint, obscure stridulatory areas.
