Long-jointed Darkling Beetle

Statira sp.

Description:

Must be a nocturnal species with those huge eyes. And I'm guessing the greatly elongated apical antennal segment will be useful in the ID. This guy looks familiar but I can't quite place it--Oedemeridae maybe?

Habitat:

Coastal forest. At a light in a clearing.
