Madagascar Beetle
The recent U. of Florida article has lots of info and a photo by Sean from BugGuide.

Moved from Digging Darkling Beetle to Madagascar Beetle.

I was hoping someone more expert than me
would comment. I'd email Kojun Kanda but he doesn't give an email address on his personal page. The only way we have to reach him is replying on a page where he's already posted an image or comment. The habitat does seem right for this species though, so if you'd like to move it, go ahead.
