His comments:
"This species is very similar to C. basilaris, but in C. simplex antennomere # 8 is longer, not thin and asymmetrically wedge-shaped as in C. basilaris. Also the elytra of C. simplex is dull and not shiny as in C. basilaris."

brown colour, size I guess 3mm

Boris, what do you think of
Christopher Majka's thinking this is a Catops sp., perhaps Catops basilaris Say?

Catops sp?
I think Christopher is probably right. The pronotum is a tiny bit constricted before base, I overlooked . . .
