Small carabid ground beetle Florida - Oodinus pseudopiceus
Lutz (Tampa), Hillsborough County, Florida, USA
April 9, 2020
Size: ~5 mm
Could this be Oodinus pseudopiceus? There appears to be an opening on the metepisternum and the labrum has 4 setae, the median pair connate or extremely close together. I have unfortunately not been able to locate the setae on the labrum, but it does not appear to match other genera in Oodini.
