Cartodere bifasciata

This came to light in my garden.

This one was caught in a vane trap. The membranous edge of the pronotum was mostly missing - just one of the foreangles remained in place.

This one was suctioned from my lawn. Duff describes this species (and Cartodere satelles) as having "Elytra without noticeable elevations in the posteror half." To my eyes at least one elytral interval is pretty obviously elevated so it would be easy to get confused here. Having said that Duff also describes Cartodere nodifer (the one that should have noticeable elevations) as being unicoloured which this very clearly isn't.

This was beaten from Ivy.
