Olophrum sp? - Olophrum obtectum

Olophrum sp? - Olophrum obtectum
North Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA
April 16, 2015
I think this is a rove beetle in the genus Olophrum. It that’s correct, it must be O. obtectum because there’s nothing “boreal/alpine” about this part of Maryland. FWIW, this beetle was found within 100 feet of a small pond and the stream leading into it.

Thanks in advance for confirmation/correction of the ID.
