Image Added
May not help but I added an image. I can blow both up quite a bit if needed. I also added a size based on the clothe stitches but it was hard to tell for sure because of the angle.

I'm pretty sure the other example I posted here is not the same individual but it does appear to be the same species with hairs removed.

nothing short of male genitalia & underside will help,
...i'm afraid
sorry Steve; nice shots, and a rather intriguing dermestid, but too much uncertainty
