Homaeotarsus
Barney Farm, Hwy 103, 1.0 mi. NW Washington, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, USA

Size: body length 8.7 mm.
We think this Rove Beetle may be Homaeotarsus bicolor.
Placement would be appreciated.

This is Homaeotarsus, but not bicolor. There are many reddish ones, with at least some undescribed species in the south.

I would agree...
