Carabidae : Lebiini : Lebia solea
Lebia solea appears most likely based on pale reddish forebody & legs, wrinkled head, longitudinal banding pattern on non-metallic elytra. South Carolina is lucky to have an excellent illustrated key to *all* of its ground beetle species in: "Ground Beetles and Wrinkled Bark Beetles of South Carolina" - J. Ciegler (2000), Clemson University, ISBN 0-615-11426-1.
