Histeridae?
Probably a histerid larva judging from habitus, but head characters not visible enough to confirm.

Yup, third beetle family.
Trouble is, I'm not sure which one. It might be a freshly molted cl*ick beetle larva, but I've never seen one that's freshly molted so that's just a guess. Best send this one to Coleoptera for now.


btw, here are some larvae of scolytine bark beetles.
