Subfamily Pselaphinae - Rybaxis clavata
Medford, (~25 miles east of Philadelphia, PA) Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
August 4, 2007
Size: under 2mm
Don suggested a lateral view would be helpful on this beetle to see the processes on the metasternum - yikes! How did I miss those points?! Looks like they were covered by the legs in the ventral shot.
