New genus for bugguide
Peter, thanks again. I hope I placed the genus under the right tribe, since I couldn't find anything on the internet.

 
Apristus in tribe Lebiini
Please also note: My previous typo is now corrected to "Apristus". Thanks.

Apristus laticollis
based on my microscopic examination of this specimen. A far western species distinguished (in part) by shiny metallic luster and fading of elytral striae laterally. Thanks Tom.
