Arphia xanthoptera
Probably a female (which are 36-46 mm), males are smaller (31-38 mm). Dark brown with a lighter band on the hind leg femur. The high pronotal crest and the time of year help identify this species.
Spotted along the Fourche La Fave River near Lake Nimrod. Found in eastern and central United States.
Feeds mostly on grasses.
