Highland Park, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
June 2, 2014
Size: 6.5 mm
mercury vapor lamp, suburban backyard. TIA. This one looks pretty distinctive, but I haven't been able to find it.

Moved
Moved from Beetles.

Check out Bostrichidae
My guess would be Xylobiops basilaris

 
indeed; comes in numbers to my patio lights

 
thank you both
for all the IDs. You're great! I have 3 or 4 more saved up in my unidentified file that I'll post, if that won't try your patience too much.

Best,
