I think this is correct as Hister quadrimaculatus Family Histeridae from the information I have found.

The delta-intkey has a description which states in the Obs. at the bottom, the lunule on the elytra is sometimes divided and at times it vanishes altogether. As mine has four spots, and the species name quadrimaculatus meaning four marks, I think it has to be this one.
