Size: 1/4"

Lathrobium debile
This is in the subgenus Lathrolepta Casey.

Staphylinidae: Paederinae: Lathrobium sp.?
Could be a Lobrathium instead (obviously the genera are close). The picture is a bit too fuzzy.

I was looking over Lathrobium today for my Insect Biodiversity class, and the students picked up several Lathrobium debile. Color and size is right for this species.
