Pseudocistela marginata
I have only seen this beetle once in 50 years of collecting, and curiously, it turned up at a Bioblitz on 8-9 June 2001 in Danbury, CT. I wonder if the 25 specimens in the NMNH are also from early June.

Lampyridae
Fireflies.

Look around the Pyractomena and Photuris genera.
