I found this specimen in a compost.I saw that it could correspond to a Sphaeroceridae, whose family has a few aptera. Size less than 2mm. Would this inspire anyone?

I confirm the determination, although it is not necessary, as Tonyś determinations use to be precise. More importantly: Which is the locality? Fauna Europaea records Puliciphora (2 spp) only from Spain, France and Great Britain.

It is necessary to know if the hairs between posterior ocelli and outer bristles on vertex have trifid tips (
rufipes) or not (
borinquenensis). Difficult to discern in the photo... The former was already recorded from France.

Thanks to all of you. Unfortunately I don't have a more detailed picture to go further, but I note the details to look at given by Paul for another time. Thanks again
