Lebiini : Lebia (subgenus Loxopeza)
ID of Lebia species like other ground beetles in Southwest can be tricky as this region is less well represented in the carabid literature compared to the eastern fauna. Testaceous forebody and uniform dark elytra likely puts this specimen in the "grandis species group" (= subgenus Loxopeza) of which there are at least 5 known species in AZ.
