Rove beetle - Homaeotarsus badius

Size: ~ 13 mm
Found under the bark of a rotting tree. My best guess is Homaeotarsus.

Moved
Moved from Beetles.

Moving to family so it will be more easily accessed by our Staph Staff.

Homaeotarsus
looks good...they have big heads in relation to the pronota, and the long curved mandibles...Brunke will know for sure.

Homaeotarsus, I think this is
Homaeotarsus, I think this is a good match for 'badius', though the genus is unrevised and I don't know if its a good species or not.

Cheers,
Adam
