Moved from Beetles.

I'll let Vassili or someone else confirm the species, though :) I dont have much experience with this genus in North America.

New one for me too:-)
Looking at the ones in the guide, I'd lean towards C. parallelus. The front of the pronotum has spurs on the corners, and C. praetermissus doesn't.
