Not in labeled vial
Specimen of this individual was not in the vial with corresponding label. It may show up in another vial?

Anyways, I think the beetle you sent in its place is much more interesting. It is Notiobia nitidipennis (LeConte), one which surprisingly is not in the guide yet. It was with 913266, which has a date of April 25. I don't see any of your images from near that date that resemble this beetle (unless it hasn't been moved to within Carabidae). Closest one is from May 9 (918852) but I can't be sure. Has that general shape with dark green luster on elytra (may be difficult to see in photos).
