"Selenophorus"
Less likely sibling genus "Discoderus" but needs to be considered here. The selenophorine group is my current taxonomic research with Brian Raber. We are in the middle of a paper on the subject. I would need to physically examine this specimen if you want species identification. I would encourage that you send me southwestern ground beetles that fit these genera. Thank you.
