Thanks for all the help on th
Thanks for all the help on these Tenebs. Would any other views help further things. Most I don't have much different, but this one, a front view.

additional photos
of the underside of the pronotum (hypomeron punctation and prosternal process shape), plus a closeup of the head and pronotum (punctation) would be very helpful. The lack of resolution in the posted photos in bugguide makes it difficult to see detail. A straight 90 degree dorsal shot is also very helpful to see the shape of the pronotum and the width to length ratio of the elytra.

If forced into a decision, I'd say C. californica, but there are 4 species with overlapping geographic ranges.

Added a couple more blowups.
Added a couple more blowups. I think the first shot is pretty much 90 degrees dorsal already though.

No problem!
I'm no Coelocnemis expert, but a front view couldn't hurt. :)
