Little Trox at Light - Trox aequalis
Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA
May 29, 2006
Size: 5.5 mm
Looks very much like Brad's Trox aequalis photo, though given Vaurie's warnings about the need to dissect the genitalia etc. maybe it's just best to say "Looks similar to Trox aequalis." Comments appreciated.

Right
It does look like T. aequalis, but there are similar species I think.
