Tiny beetle.... - Xylobiops basilaris

Tiny beetle.... - Xylobiops basilaris
North Central, Grenada County, Mississippi, USA
April 29, 2012
Size: 3-4mm
Found this tiny beetle inside of our tent. Only 3-4mm long. For size reference...that is the no see-um mesh of our tent that this beetle is crawling on.

Thanks
Thanks for the the ID.

Not an ID, just an observation...
It bears a resemblance to the Red-shouldered Bostrichid (Xylobiops basilaris):



Let's see if the experts agree.

EDIT: Well, at least it was a tie this time. :)
