This is not Sepedo*philus but an Aleocharine
I don't have a good idea of the habitus of most genera so I can't be sure, it looks like Myll*aena though. Sepedo*philus (used to be Cono*soma) does not have distinct paratergites (which create grooves along each tergite, which are evident here). Perhaps someone who has had more time with this subfamily can comment?
