Phalacridae in Saskatchewan? - Olibrus

Phalacridae in Saskatchewan? - Olibrus
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 29, 2010
Size: 1.5mm
Found him sweeping grasses and flowers in a wild grassland area on a hot and sunny afternoon. The specimen is missing hind legs. Even though there are no recorded Phalacrids in Saskatchewan, it seems to be in the Phalacridae family. Can anyone suggest a better fit?

Olibrus sp
The slightly aeneous luster can be seen in the dorsal shot, and the terminal antennomere reveals its distinctive shape in the frontal shot.
