incertus/depurator
impossible to tell from the images, may be really hard even with good ones. Incertus is a high possibility in FL

I compared my Hister with and his discription is dead on. I am 98% sure that this is a Hister depurator. I will bring it down to FSCA on our next trip.

Striation and punctation are extremely important in histerid determination. Need better illumination on both the dorsal and ventral shots.

Initial guess is Hister depurator, but it's only a guess. Someone with more expertise on the southern fauna should be consulted for this one.
