Notiophilis novemstriatus
based on my microscopic examination of this specimen which is now a photo-voucher in the P.W.Messer collection. Dark legs and much wider shiny interval (longitudinal band) visible on each elytron are helpful diagnostic features. This species is widespread in eastern USA, limited westwardly to region AZ to SD. Thanks John.
