Trachyrhachys aspera

Very similar to Trachyrhachys kiowa , but less common, a bit stockier, with the inner face of the hind femur always black with a single light cross band near the knee, and with wing yellow at the base and dark on approximately the entire outer half. In T. kiowa the inner hind femur varies, but is often light with dark cross bands, or if dark often has more than one light cross band. The wing of T. kiowa is clear to yellow, with or without a dark cross band in the middle, but never dark on the outer half. Other similar species differ in the same ways, or occur in other regions. Rehnita is like T. kiowa , and has a lower, barely visible middle ridge on the top of the pronotum.
