There is further information on this species at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfp/publications/00198/poplar_and_willow_borer.htm http://www.forestpests.org/poplar/willowborer.html And good photos at: http://www.zin.ru/ANIMALIA/COLEOPTERA/RUS/crylapdg.htm http://www.bkmakro.de/Makro/images/Kaefer/Cryptorhynchus%20lapathi%201.jpg Can you let me know where and when you collected it? There are only records from Cape Breton, both from Cape Breton County, so the information is of interest. Best wishes!
