Germarostes sp. I am not too familiar with this genus (never collected it myself) so not sure how to separate the two species from this image.

That is super cool!
With the drought and heat wave this summer, I didn't think I had photographed all that many new bugs this summer...but beetle-wise...this one puts me up to 41 families of beetles. I'm amazed. Thanks!
