“This is Pselaptus belfragei. Amusingly, my longest series is one that I took at the upper end of Aravaipa Canyon around 1977 when I worked for BLM in Safford AZ.”
A new species for BugGuide! In addition, Pselaptus is listed in the Staphylinidae missing genera page (https://bugguide.net/node/view/763584). Well, missing genus no more.
