Phlaeopterus lagrandeuri
3 mi. E. Gold Bar, Snohomish County, Washington, USA

Reminds me of an Ocellate Rove Beetle, but this one doesn't seem to not have ocelli. Further placement would be appreciated.

Phlaeopterus lagrandeuri can be distinguished from all other species of the genus by an apical spur/tooth on the metatrochanter, the photo isn't quit good enough to see if it's there though.
