Diagnosis: <\/strong>Carpophilus marginatus<\/em> specimens are distinguished from other eastern North American species by having the following combination of features: length measured from mandibles to abdominal apex 1.8-2.6 mm, antennomere coloration unicolorous throughout antennae (Fig. 2), pronotum posterior angle nearly forming a 90 degree angle (Fig. 3), and the posterior rim of the mesocoxal cavities smooth forming an axillary space extending approimatly 1\/4 to 1\/2 down the metepisternal suture. Males also have two distinctly longer setae on their supplementary segment (Fig. 4 & 5).<\/p>\n

Distribution: <\/strong>Carpophilus marginatus <\/em>is found in eastern North America from New York to Florida and west from Michigan to Alabama. It has also been recorded in Oregon, Louisiana, Costa Rica, and Guatemala.<\/p>\n

Biology: <\/strong>Very little is known about the biology of C. marginatus<\/em>. It has been collected from oak sap flows, freshly-cut oak, and southern red oak (Vogt 1950; Williams et al. 1997; Gil, 2008). Also collected from figs (Riley and Howard 1889).<\/p>\n
