Thank you Tim!
It is nice to get a species name for this beetle. (and the Colymbetes specimen also (1))

A male; probably an Ilybiosoma or Ilybius..would really like to take a closer look at it if you have kept it.

Thank you Tim!
I still have the specimen, plus the other two collected at the same time. I also have a Colymbetes specimen (same as here (1)) that was collected at the same time and place as the three Agabinae beetles - if you would like to try to species ID that one also.
