Pic is a little dark, but seems like Graphisurus despectus

 
Best fit for this image
after I lightened it up a bit in Photoshop, and based on known ND species is Astyleiopus variegatus, although the smoking gun bicolor elytral maculations don't show well in this image, G. despectus is not known from ND, and is quite different looking overall.

 
ID confirmed by S.W. Lingafelter: "prob. Astyleiopus variegatus"

 
Thnks, Guy!
Thank you for taking the time to identify this beetle! ;-)

Moved from Longhorned Beetles.

intriguing... certianly not one of the routinely photographed!
i was thinking, Aegomorphus -- but the elytral apices don't seem to match; must ask around...
feels like i'm missing something --or am just spent; 'twas a long day.

 
Thanks for looking!
Thanks for your tireless efforts on Bug Guide, v belov!
