Pseudaptinus (Thalpius) sp.
-- comes down to a dark T. dorsalis or T. pygmaeus in SC. True proportions of middle antennal segments, important diagnostically, are suggested to be squarish in this image, thus favoring T. pygmaeus. That and other anatatomic details would need to be studied under scope to be sure about species in my opinion.
