Hybosorus - Hybosorus illigeri
Manasota Key, Charlotte County, Florida, USA
May 22, 2006
Size: ~7 mm
Hybosorus illigeri
Collected at lights. Seems to be pretty common in the area.
An introduced species and can be added to the list in the forum.

(I saw this family wasn't represented. One less outstanding family!)

Hybosoridae, new bugguide family
I had to google this to find what family you referred to :-) This family has only two species in the US.
