cool thanks - I was a bit lost on how to tell the species apart.

 
Necydalis
I find them difficult to separate, too. I have a small series of N. cavipennis from my yard here in northern CA, but I only have one specimen of second species -- which unfortunately, I have misplaced. I went with the super long first tarsal segment of the hindleg to make the species ID here. Also, the pronotum doesn't have a deep longitudinal groove as seen in N. cavipennis.
