you did great; this is Catops sp. (7 spp. in your area)
dilated tarsi on the ventral shot say, male
we'll try to figure it out; in the meantime, you can key it on(1); C. luteipes & C. alsiosus seem to be the best candidates

Moved from ID Request.

C. alsiosus
After going through the key and doing a little more research, I believe it is C. alsiosus. Thank you for your help and do let me know if you think I'm wrong!
