Moved from Scaphidium.

Looks right, but..
This group was treated as a subfamily of the Staphylinidae in American Beetles(1) - I would follow that reference.

 
Thanks Phillip,
I will be sure to check that reference before placing any more beetles. I appreciate you fixing my outdated placements!

 
Thank you.
Thank you for the gentle reminder:-) Curse those "lumpers." Pbbbbt!

Congrats!
Congratulations on capturing a whole new family for Bugguide! Woo-hoo! Nice shot, too.

 
Sub- that is.
Family is Staphylinidae.
