Scarites? - Scarites
Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge, Ripley County, Indiana, USA
July 1, 2012
I found this beetle under a rock along a small headwater stream surrounded by flatwoods. It seems to fit the description of something in the genus Scarites, but there are a number of similar looking beetles so I'd like a second opinion.

Any idea which species?

Measured size would be helpful
Close-up of antennae and ventral may also be useful. They are tough to tell species from photos.
