Moved
Best to leave at genus.

Nice in situ shot. These guys hustle for cover once the nest is disturbed. I need to get a closeup vid of me overturning my favorite rock. Usually good for at least half a dozen or so beetles scurrying for the ant tunnels.

Moved from Haeterius brunneipennis.

Nice find!
Can you get ventral shots (prosternum) to confirm the det?

No ventral shots
I didn't collect this one, but the one from last year I think is with Brad. Both were from under the same board in my yard.
