Trogidae - Trox capillaris

Trogidae - Trox capillaris
Hillman State Park, Washington County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 5, 2011
Size: 10 mm est.
I found small numbers of these hide beetles, family Trogidae, at a well-decomposed deer carcass, along with more numerous denizens. I think it is Trox capillaris.

Moved from Hide Beetles. T. capillaris makes the most sense.

Trox?
Wouldn't this be Trox because of the shape of the pronotum and scutellum?
