Elaphropus vernicatus
is confirmed based on my microscopic examination of this photo-vouchered specimen. High resolution image should qualify for "photo-type" at BugGuide. Not given AR status in Bousquet & Larochelle (1993). Thanks Jeff.

Elaphropus vernicatus
species page is reasonable here until my microscopic examination confirms this specimen as yet another AR state record. Compare to Tom Murray's four catches.

agree with genus...
again, refer to Peter or others for species-level ID. Nice images today; it's a carabid Sunday in WI :)
