Thanks Boris
I'll trust your guess, since you know more about these Aleocharinae than anyone else on this site.

Just a guess - genus Dinarea
. . jugded by the parallel and flat body, and the last abdominal segment appearing granulated. But - a guess. There are not many Aleocharine genera which have distinctive appearance, and this is not among them.

cheers, Boris
