carabid 1 - Calleida viridipennis
nr Ponca, Buffalo National River, Steel Creek, Newton County, Arkansas, USA
April 30, 2013
Size: 11mm
Collected in an aerial Malaise trap. It reminds me of Lebiini but seems a bit too large and the thorax is a bit differently shaped. Any help is appreciated.

Calleida viridipennis
These metallic beetles are difficult to photograph well. I keyed it to Calleida in American beetles. After going through the guide I think it's C. viridipennis, it is metallic coppery-red along the posterior margin of the elytra (doesn't show up in photo) and antennomeres 1-3 and part of 4 are light colored while the rest of the antenna is dark.
