I have looked at this and keyed to L. malkini....I also compared it with a few that Skelley Confirmed for me and they are the same.

Leiopsammodius malkini
No clypeal teeth, and visible eyes. If this came to lights, it pretty much settles it as L. malkini, which is not rare at lights. All other similarly appearing psammodiines are rare, even at lights.
