[Xantholinus Dejean 1821: 189 (IT: 31) spp]
Same specimen, head detail. 2 Acari on L antenna. Educated guess: Bdellodes longirostris.
63,650 Staphylinidæ spp classification is ongoing, with some proposing as many as 10 separate ff, but the current favored system is one of 32 sff, ∼167 tbb (some grouped into Stbb) & ∼3,200 gg; ∼400 new spp are being described each year, and some ℮℮ suggest 75% of tropical spp are as yet undescribed.

Both taken in Upton Magna - Shropshire. Both were around 5 mm.
The one above, is it Xantholinus species? Anyone know which please? Taken in July 11.
The one below, taken yesterday, is it Bisnius fimetarius? (Have set with no comments but viewable in its own right, as it's so small anyway it'd be even harder to see detail!)
Thanks ever so!
