Diagnosis: <\/strong>Carpophilus brachypterus<\/em> specimens are distinguished from other eastern North American species by having the following combination of features: body convexity flattened (fig. 2), antennomere coloration unicolorous throughout antenna, ratio of eye width at widest point in dorsal view to intraocular distance at narrowest point between 1:4 and 1:9, pronotum posterior angles broadly rounded with no distinct ‘corner’ created, and posterior rim of mesocoxal cavities smooth, not forming axillary space.<\/p>\n

Distribution: <\/strong>Carpophilus brachypterus<\/em> is found in eastern North America from Nova Scotia to North Carolina and west from Manitoba to Kansas.<\/p>\n

Biology: <\/strong>Collected from a variety of flowers, stored grains, recently cut hardwoods, and decaying fruit (Pellitteri and Boush 1983; Bousquet 1990; Price and Young 2006).<\/p>\n
