Carpo*philus? - Colopterus truncatus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA

Size: 2.1 mm
Came to UV lights on warm, humid night. This looks like Carpoph*ilus to me, but Andrew Cline will set me straight if I'm wrong :-)

Carpophilus
Nitidulid specialist Andrew Cline's best guess, bearing in mind the difficulty of working from photos vs. specimens:

or Colopterus?
Did Andrew ever confirm? I've been keying through my nits and this one looks like Colopterus (C. trunctas) - with segments 2 and 3 small, and 5 longer than 1-4 combined. Size and color also appear similar to a previous confirmation by Andrew -

Still, it looks darn similar to except the 4th segment looks larger on that one, and the size is bigger than Colopterus trunctas allows.
