Leiodes litura

Although litura is by no means the commonest Leiodes this individual keyed to litura using both the Hackston and Duff keys. For all but the clearest couplets I checked both ways just in case I'd made a mistake but every other path ended up with a dead-end. I also checked it carefully against the desriptions of each of the "three commonest species" given in the Hackston key in order to make triply sure I'd eliminated those. I attempted to dissect it but somehow messed that up so it wasn't confirmed that way. It's length was 2.3mm and was swept from White Dead-nettle.
