Elateridae, Dendrometrinae, Prosternini, Selatosomus sp. (subgenus Pristilophus) and must be Selatosomus festivus. Nice little and tough exercise in the early morning ;-) Nice one! http://www.biodiversity.ubc.ca/entomology/main/Coleoptera/Elateridae/Selatosomus%20festivus%20form%20A%20(1dorsal).jpg http://bugguide.net/node/view/524417/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/456972/bgimage
