Rove beetle

Rove beetle
Salisbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, USA
March 10, 2008
Size: 3mm

Moved
Moved from Staphylinini.

Moved
Moved from Paederini. Definitely Staphylinini, not Paederini; Philonthina, but there are a couple possibilities for genus.

Moved
Moved from Paederinae.

Moved
Moved from Rove Beetles.

Paederinae
I think, but it could be a Staphylinine. Being wet and at an oblique angle doesn't help. A small one at 3mm. Perhaps Boris will have an opinion.
