Subtribe that includes Stenolophus, Bradycellus, Acupalpus
which are normally easy to separate under scope. Image recognition can be challenging for this group. Size, color pattern, and pronotum rounded laterobasaly reminds me most of widespread species Acupalpus pauperculus. Nice photos for such a small specimen.
