Poecilus diplophryus Chaudoir
is a good fit for this image. Large size (> 11.5 mm) and three punctures visible atop elytron (vs two) separates it from otherwise similar P. scitulus in AZ.

Thanks, Peter!
also many thanks for giving my bug safari connection to a Belgium carabid enthusiast. I am going to meet him and his family next week for black lighting!

Poecilus diplophryus
was my first impression, based on overall appearance and collection information. I've collected it in the mid-lower elevations several times in AZ.

Poecilus
UAIC might be using the name P. subcordatus, which is now a synonym of P. diplophryus (assuming it is that species--would wait for a specialist's confirmation either way).
