Who ID'd, please?
Would like to know how the identification was arrived at. Thank you.

I ID'd it myself...
based on the relatively large size and short, blunt pronotal angles (pointed to by Donald S. Chandler in other comments). Only one species in this genus occurs in my area, according to the CNC checklist.
