the tip of prosternum can be seen as indented on this one vs. straight, meaning this is Olibrus sp. Corrections welcome :)

Actually Olibroporus punctatus
Good find! Didn't expect to see this one on the guide. Combination of metaventral lines absent, truncate metaventral process (this is rounded and protrusive in Olibrus), and obvious rows of punctures on the elytra will get you to this beast. A good northern record for this southeastern species.
