Diagnostic information (based on Klausnitzer 1976 ). Body length 2.4 mm. Brown, elytral suture pale brown, antennae and legs yellow-brown. Male sternite IX and tergite IX as in Fig. 24C, D . Aedeagus as in Fig. 24A, B . Bionomic notes. The Canadian specimens were collected in conifer and mixed forests, mainly with Malaise traps. Comments. Contacyphon obscurellus belongs to the C. variabilis group of species. It is most reliably identified by its genitalia. The species is split into three closely clustered BINs, which show no obvious morphological differences. The identification of the Canadian specimens is based on dissected male representatives of these BINs.
