Blaine's call makes a lot of sense; good eye!
Moved from Cymindis.

Cymindis
looks like C. complanatus based on the antennae (look too narrow to be C. platicollis).

Irresponsible wild guess here...
I may not even be in the right family, but I can't help taking a shot just in case I'm somewhere in the vicinity. To me it resembles Cymindis.



Now I'll step aside and let someone with actual expertise tell you what it really is. :)

Not so wild a guess..I think
Not so wild a guess..I think your right.
Kinda looks like C. platicollis (which I somehow missed when I was browsing the Ground Beetles earlier).
