Ciid 4 - Octotemnus laevis
Copyright © 2007 Stephen Luk

Ciid 4 - Octotemnus laevis
Guelph, Wellington, Ontario, Canada
March 10, 2007
Size: <1 mm
A side view distinguishes this Ciid from the other tan-colored Ciid that I found earlier (see image below) - its pronotum and head come together neatly, while the head of the other appears to be sunken beneath the pronotum. The other Ciid is also more slender than this one.
