Little variation observed in color, punctation and relative shape and size of male and female genitalia; however, notable differences were observed in overall length, width, and convexity among individuals, as well as the degree to which the pronotum is transverse with some individuals exhibiting a W:L = 1.45:1, the number of denticles on each tarsal claw also varies. Females were generally larger than males.

The specific epithet is a combination of the Latin “sangui” meaning blood, and “penni&quot;, meaning wing; apparently this epithet is indicative of the dark red elytra of the species.

specimens were found in the same place. On both days the weather was cool (~15°C) with clear skies and the sun intensely shining on the slope face. Collection events occurred between 11:001:00 pm on both days. Ground bees were numerous and extremely active, even though some snow was present in the surrounding woods. Of the 56 beetles collected, 63% were found live under small board pieces and/or sticks, 20% dead, 10% dead and lightly webbed by spiders, 6% dead on the sand, and 1% walking on the sand. All live and spider-webbed individuals under wood were upside down under the board.

. Visits in May rather than April were due to late snowfall and an unusually cold late spring in the area. Both stops were only an hour in length, at around 11:00am. A thorough search of the pit on both dates for more specimens easily would have yielded 100200 additional beetles. Of the 298 individuals, 148 were found dead on the sand or in small depressions, 128 were found live under wood, 32 were found dead under wood (killed by spiders, i.e. cocooned), and 17 were found crawling on the sand. Most live individuals under the boards, sticks, and small logs were producing large egg masses. Samples of live individuals were collected for molecular vouchers. Two spiders apparently feeding on the beetles also were collected as well as host ground bees (

, but the nests were more widely separated than in previous years at the prime collecting areas. No copulating pairs of beetles were observed from 2005 or 2007, thus it remains unclear when mating occurs. The method for the triungulin larvae to locate and invade ground bee borrows several inches to feet from the egg mass sites remains unknown, but presumably involves phoresy.
