Moved from Cryptophagus pilosus.

Not sure of the ID anymore.

C. pilosus has been synonymized with C. denticulatus Heer, 1841 (see (1)) and it does occur in our area. However, I'm not sure if the species is the same as the one referred to in (2). It's all very confusing.

Cryptophagus pilosus
In my opinion it was not necassary to change the name from pilosus to denticulatus. However, the specimen looks like the palaearctic (holarctic or only introduced) Cryptophagus pilosus in the sense of WOODROFFE & COOMBS so far it is possible to see.
