Bolbocerosoma farctum? - Bolbocerosoma farctum
Edgewater/SERC, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA

I found this small beetle crawling on the patio at work. I didn't want to collect it and glad I didn't since it seems uncommon in Maryland. Any chance I'm correct on the ID? Never encountered the genus before! Thanks.

I have several photos of the head close up if that might help with an ID. Here's a link. I'll add a few to the record as well.
