Moved...I think so...
pronotum looks a bit densely punctate, but that could be an imaging artifact.

Moved from Beetles.

Thanks Blaine
The pronotum is indeed more densely punctuate than other pics here. But is is about the same as the image at the Spencer collection here.

Seems like a pretty variable species.
