Megaquedius sp.
I should look which species lives in that area, not many.

If collected and you won't keep it: I would be very interested to get one.

Quedius sp
I just got the Quedius genus ID a few hours ago (courtesy B. Buche) and forgot to put it here, my apologies. I may have collected this on NPS land so may not be able to send. I will have to check my records in a few hours. Thank you for your help with the id. An amazing animal for sure, I had never seen a rove this large!
