Size: 1.8mm

Moved
Moved from Aleocharinae.

genus Atheta

Moved
That's what I thought it might be, but was hoping for an easier subfamily. I found it under a horse dropping, with a few dung beetles.

Aleocharinae
It is an Aleocharinae, but I can't say more. Where did you catch him ? I've find a very similar one (but visibly not the same) this week in a mushroom.
