Staphylinidae, Rove Beetle. Might be a Xantholinini. I only know some Plochionocerus sp. from northern South America and Costa Rica. http://www.alexanderwild.com/Insects/Insect-Orders/Beautiful-Beetles/i-CKrWqTr/2/S/staphylinidae1-S.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/28347466@N08/5722720643/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/36494393@N00/9025715066/in/photostream/ http://www.biodiversityphotography.org/For-Identification/Invertebrates-Insects/Coleoptera-Ecuador/i-BXG5pkB http://u.jimdo.com/www55/o/s3d75aa7ba71a8e45/img/i79cf4dda65e4986a/1321487292/std/ハネカクシ亜科xantholinini族plochionocerus属の1種-plochionocerus-sp.jpg
