Welcome Pam and thanks for your confidence in my ID skills, but my Lycostomus runsoriensis was actually a "joke", however, quite a serious one ;-)...
I would take Lycidae (usually without "sp.") as scientific name. But you can add Lycostomus runsoriensis as a possible candidate or match in the description section, however, without confirmation. There are tons of these lycid beetles around.
