hard to tell from image/angle...
maybe Obrium rubidum? I'd like a straight-on dorsal shot. O. rubidum would be a new species and thus should be kept for the guide!

 
ID confirmed by Doug Yanega:
"The rubidum is unmistakable. I like "distinctive" species. It makes me sad to think the molecular taxonomists are going to split all of them up into multiple cryptic taxa. ;-)"

Moved
Moved from Beetles. I don't recognize offhand, someone else will though.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Suggest for frass, but maybe our beetle experts will think this is worth saving?
