I realized I posted this in the wrong subject. Maybe one of the administrators can move it to the identification tab.

2nd looks like Temnoscheila, first is a longhorn but it is not familiar to me.

That second one is stunning. Bob should be along soon, I’m sure he can ID them.

For the longhorn, how about Susuacanga ulkei

Greetings,
Not much for me to help with - the longhorn is indeed Susuacanga ulkei - used to be in the genus Eburia. The other is correct too - Temnoscheila sp., of which there are at least a couple of species in Arizona too similar for me to try an ID from an image...
Cheers!

Wow, I've never heard of Susuacanga ulkei before. It looks like a fairly large species. How big is it in mm? Would you mind sharing the location with us?

Chris,
I may be wrong, but I identified the couple of specimens I have from California Gulch as T. aerea. I have one specimen of S. falli, but not S. ulkei, so that is a good one.

The Susuacanga ulkei is 29 mm long. I collected it in Rock Corral Canyon which is similar habitat and location to California Gulch. The Temnoscheila sp. was collected in Box Canyon. This was my third trip to Arizona to collect and it is amazing how each time I find a lot of different species of both moths and beetles. Each time I have tried a couple of different spots which is probably why I have been successful.

Chris your beetles are so lovely! Ive never seen those species before and I've lived in Arizona my whole life. This isn't totally surprising as we are one of the most specious places on the entire planet, but it's still surprising how much is out there to be discovered. How do you go about catching your beetles?
