Ptinus sp., not P. hystrix.
Ptinus hystrix is from southern Texas and looks a bit different. I know the beetle in the images, but do not have a species name for it.

Thanks
I had tried to make it into Ptinus concurrens Fall, 1905 but no one was convinced. I have images of another individual that I never posted if that might help.
