Moved, Diplostethus sp.
Can I see a lateral shot of the prosternal process (that's the slender pointy thing coming off the bottom of the prothorax :)? I think this is what is currently known as D. peninsularis but need to see that to be sure.

Moved from Beetles.

Your wishes have been granted!
I hope the two images of "the slender pointy thing coming off the bottom of the prothorax" help with an accurate ID. Thank you Blaine!
