certainly related to this, even better mimic: https://www.flickr.com/photos/atojar/7958100840/
This one is NOT Strongylium (eyes not approximate on head, more oval shape).
same here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1645086033
Not really what I would expect from Strongylium, though... http://www.americaninsects.net/b/strongylium-sp.html
Any further IDeas, Boris?
OK, at least a mimic ;-(, Thanks, Boris!
Not a Pleasing Fungus beetle at all - a mimic! Belongs in Tenebrionidae (details of eyes, tarsi, antennae . . .) and pretty well imitates Gibbifer sp..
Erotylidae, should be Gibbifer sp. and could be Gibbifer cf. impressopunctata.
