General
characteristics such as size, general shape and color of the specimen are also
helpful.
In review, when submitting a beetle for further identification,
include digital images that convey the shape, form and characteristics of the
head, antennae, pronotum, elytra, and overall body shape. Tarsi and the tarsal
formula may be difficult to include initially but may be needed if additional
images are required. One image may be able to convey more than one characteristic.
