Histerid - Hypocacculus metallescens - Female
Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, USA
July 15, 2001
Size: 2.2mm
Collected by coleopterist David Almquist. Collected in pitfall under bat house. July 2001 (used July 15th for date due to requirement for complete date).

All pics taken with automontage system. Actual montaging done with CombineZP.

I think it might be Hypocacculus metallescens (Erichson), which was recently recorded from Florida.
