And also
This one has the deeply ridged pronotum like yours, too. Phillip, do you think this is the same species?

Probably
See Bothrotes pictures - two subspecies and one other evidently rare species listed from Florida.

Thanks!
I will add this link to the info page.
It's hard to distinguish between the two images of the subspecies. Looks like perhaps arundis is more coppery and acutus more ridged?

I think
the one with the ridges is the female, I have a photo of these mating, and the ridged one is on the bottom. I also have the copper looking ones, maybe just the fuzz wearing off?
