Pitfall traps in basically an alkali flat
Placed 20-IV-2015; retrieved 28-VIII-2015 (couldn't figure out how to capture this in the date field above)

This keys out to Blaisdelliana in American Beetles, but I cannot find any images on the internet for comparison.

Based upon the following (which I have tried to show in the photos):
dorsal surface pubescent
distal palpomere narrowly securiform
eyes sparsely pubescent, rounded
prosternum not broadly rounded
eye canthus essentially obsolete
antennae less than 2/3 width of head
terminal antennomere tapered
prosternal intercoxal process narrow
abdomen apparently with 6 visible ventrites
head and mouthparts not directed postero-ventrad
basal antennomeres not greatly enlarged
setae on terminal antennomeres short, club symetrical
post coxal lines recurved

Even with the crappy pix I hope someone can correct or confirm.
