Rove Beetle - Mycetoporus

Rove Beetle - Mycetoporus
Engelmann Woods Nature Area, Franklin County, Missouri, USA
March 31, 2012
Size: maybe 10mm
Found this fella sitting on a leaf in the woods. Sorry, not sure what kind of plant it was on, maybe a small shrub? Thing has a rather unique shape. Could this be some kind of Litter-leaf Rove Beetle such as Sepedophilus OR Tachyporus?
