Looks like Thymalus marginicollis.
See what others say.

Very good.
I saw this, or one just like it, 2 nights previous to these photos. I thought I saw it come out of a hole in the tree. It looked so familiar yet I just couldn't place it and that's when I figured I had to get some more photos, and even a specimen.

I've been reluctant to post it ever since because I just knew I should know what it is. Turns out I've never even heard of the family!

Thank you so very much.
