Well...
you've got me mighty curious on this one. Those antennae and glossy black, finely-punctuate surface with strange rows of depressions, shortened elytra, a squat spindle shape...

What were the cirmstances of your finding it and what was it doing when you found it?

beetle
It was found in low brush walking along a twig. That's about it... I thought it was a true bug until I looked closer.
