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

Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae

Yes, another one.

Don, thanks for the confirmation.
