Thanks Brad
I'm sending the specimen and some other carabids to Peter Messer for identification to species. To make it easy for him to find the images, I'm leaving them in the carabid page until he comments.

I recommend that you continue to attach best IDs,
as I still can find your photographs fairly easily under Recent Images in the Carabidae section even if given species names. I don't want to discourage others from contributing their thoughts. Thanks.
