I guess the pronotal color is rather variable in this species.

Pedilus species
I think. See photo at Cedar Creek. Eric mentioned here that Pedilidae has now been dissolved into Pyrochroidae (Pedilus is listed under Pyrochroidae at Nearctica).

future changes

Cantharid?
I want to say Cantharidae, but the pronotum looks too smooth and globular for the family.

borer beetle?
Could it be in the same family as something like a clover stem borer?

nope
I'm certain it's not a langurid.
