Staphylinidae Xenodusa cava? - Xenodusa
Near Last Chance Road in Sheldon Nat. Antelope Refuge, GPS= 41.9006, -119.6137, Washoe County, Nevada, USA
July 8, 2017
Size: 6 mm
Posted to extend BugGuide map range into NV for Xenodusa and possibly get species ID.

White Light trap, 560 lumens in Mixed juniper and sagebrush habitat

Possibly not X. reflexa because I couldn't find any "spiny black hairs on the pronotum" that Adam Brunke mentions (https://bugguide.net/node/view/215732/bgimage)

Characters from Arnett Beetles Vol 1 (1)
--Head and pronotum without prominent carina.
--Pronotum without a deep medial sulcus.
--Golden yellow tufts easily seen on sides.

Study = GBBL PJ. Sample 98_F
Danielle C. Miles collector.
