Staphylinidae - Erichsonius

Staphylinidae - Erichsonius
Mt. Kessler, Fayetteville, Washington County, Arkansas, USA
June 7, 2014
Size: 6 mm
Trying to figure out if this is Paederinae or Staphylininae. I'm leaning towards Staphylininae, based on the thin/transparent postcoxal process of the pronotum, but could use confirmation. From oak/hickory litter.
