Hi Tom
One of the nitidulid specialists I contacted to look at the unidentifieds in this family passed the request along to Andrew Cline, an insect systematist for the State of California. Here is his CV of 10 months ago. Presumably his PhD has been awarded by now.

At any rate, he conducted a whirlwind tour through our Nitidulidae, dropping IDs as he went. Neat!

Good work
Thanks Jim for making the contacts, and a big thanks to Andrew for all the identifications.

Nitidulidae?
Probably something in the family Nitidulidae. I'd start there anyway.
