The identity....
is indeed confirmed to be a eucnemid beetle. Unfortunately, that is the lowest level of classification its going to be. Without a ventral view of the specimen, I cannot ascertain as to the subfamily or tribe the specimen belongs to within the family.

re: ID
Thanks for help--I think it got hurt when I lifted a rock off the stump it was sitting on. It must have flown away or I would have got more shots.
