Moved, Selonodon floridensis
Appears to be S. floridensis based on color, clypeal-labral suture, and form of mandible. Wish I could see the prosternal process better. It is recorded from Orlando, FL and is clearly not the other species widely distributed in central Florida (S. mandibularis). This record is a little early for the species, but since they are rain associates, no reason they cannot pop early if rains come early.

Moved from Selonodon.

Very interesting, glad I could contribute to a lesser-defined page on this website.

Moved, much more exciting than Notiobia
Nice pics, give me a little time to get a species name.

Moved from ID Request.
