elongate big-eyed prognathous beetle - Trogoxylon parallelipipedum

elongate big-eyed prognathous beetle - Trogoxylon parallelipipedum
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
June 23, 2006
Size: 3.2 mm
Pulled off my drenched mo*th sheet/UV lights setup on rainy night. This beetle has familiar elements but a strange combination of elements. I have yet to go thumbing through my books hoping to see something similar, but I don't recall anything like it from prior thumbings-through.

Thank you, Don.
Using AB key, this appears to be in genus Trogoxylon, of which the UNH checklist has only one species: Trogoxylon parallelopipedum. Further, this one is a close match to the drawing of the species in American Beetles.
