Please . . .
always move images to the page that corresponds with the ID (family, in this case)!

Sorry
about that, I did not think we had a firm ID on this one, and I have not been on much lately as a six class load is keeping me buried in grading!

So you keyed it now?
As far as I can see, anything what was told more precisely than family level are (educated) guesses . . .

genus is present in North America also
but I cannot confirm positively your clicker belongs in it (but it is probable, indeed . . .)

Selatosomus?
Very similar to the European genus Selatosomus (Ctenicerini)...

thanks
to the both of you, I'll check and see what the keys say for this genus.

keys . . .
Please try with the generic key linked on the family info page of bugguide.
In many keys, the genus will be mixed up with several others under "Ctenicera".

Yes!
That is the key I am using. I have already chatted a bit with Paul about sending all of my clickers to him for ID
