Carabidae: Trechinae: Bembidiini: Asaphidion curtum
Yves Bousquet (CNC, Agriculture Canada, Ottawa) was kind enough to provide the identification. An introduced European species only found in the Northeast, previously known as A. flavipes. Not common.

Not Elaphrus
If you found these under logs or leaf litter, than they are not Elaphrus, which are found mainly on mud flats. Neat shots!

something else
I'll move these to the Carabid page until I get the identification from the specimens I'm bringing to UNH.
