Tiny brown histerid - Aeletes politus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
April 19, 2007
Size: about 1.1 mm
Only one of this species found so far along with two other histerids and thousands of other beetles from at least 26 other families (plus many other arthropods) by pawing and sifting through flotsam from a substantially swollen catchment basin after several days of heavy, non-stop rain.
