Loberus subglaber Casey
Moved from Loberus impressus. Tentatively ID'd from specimen, now a photo-voucher. Thanks Aaron.

Pretty cool one. Looks different from L. impressus by its more finely punctate striae, the punctures thus more separated and not confluent. The strial hairs are very short, almost elongate scale-like. I don't see any records of this species since its original description from NJ. If I'm correct about species ID, I wonder if this is a coastal species.
