Glyphonyx recticollis
In most elaters there is a carina that runs from the tip of the pronotal points to the disc of the pronotum. In this species it is offset and comes down to the posterior margin and then travels to the spine. Hopefully that made some sense. Based on comparisons with the Wagner/Scott Collection material from Hum'st'n, PA (maybe someone can tell me what "Hums'st'n" is an abbreviation for).

thanks Dennis,
and my first impression on the PA location (having grown up around Reading, PA) was "Hummelstown" - a lovely little town just east of the capital Harrisburg.
