Maybe not O. suberosus

The front edge of the pronotum has a long straight section and is *much* wider than long, placing this beetle in a group with "monachus and others" according to Vaurie (diagram and comments on p. 14).

Omorgus suberosus (probably)

I'm a little gun shy about IDing these from photos, but looks like suberosus.

Thank you.

Is there anything you could see from an image that would help with the ID? I have been collecting the dead ones in a cup, so I can try to get better images of points of interest if needed.

Not really

Your shots are very good - just uncomfortable trying to nail these down from photos. I still haven't got up the nerve to move some of the Serica to sp. pages even though several seem pretty obvious.
