This is probably a Cophura sp. (very beat-up!). Check for the pair of 'Cophura spines' on the mid tibial apex. |

How big was this specimen? If less than 15mm, it must be a Cophura (from Baja Calif.). Some Cophura have antennae just like your photo (most Cophura, however, do have antennae with a more tapered flagellum and style). |
