Rove Beetle

Found at Ecolodge Itororó reserve, in/near Nova Friburgo municipality in state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.

 

Maybe Glenus sp.? I watched it rub its pronotum against a leaf to dislodge some of the caked on dirt.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
