Moved
Moved from Rugilus. Definitely not Rugilus - that has a really skinny neck. This could be Medon, or Sunius confluentus; the latter is common under bark of logs in eastern and central North America.

Yes, I think you're right. I'
Yes, I think you're right. I've said Oxytelinae cause I thinked that I can count seven sternits, but it's an error caused by the particular position of the abdomen on this specimen.
