Hi,
Thanks for the comment. I'm sure they are the same genus. I believe there are seven species here, and I don't know how to tell them apart. Bugguide.net says there's a good ID key in a book on the beetles of South Carolina. I don't know if my pics have enough detail to work.
This is Maria dB's. Isn't this the same bug? I love your second picture.
