Great!
I suspected that was the genus but I'm afraid I didn't review the available genera so was hesitant to venture :-) Thanks so much, Don.

Wow...
Like a drop of silver! Hard to believe that something this shiny would decide to cover itself in debris.

Well, actually,
the debris garb was mainly my doing by deciding to store the beetles in the same pill sorter compartment as the fungal mass (or fungal mess?). Most were fairly clean when I found them.
