Murray also stated he only had one specimen at the time to base the description on. All primary types of Carpophilinae for Murray’s 1864 revision of the family Nitidulidae are deposited in the NHM. Therefore, this specimen can be reliably determined to be the holotype . Labels for the designated specimen are as follows: “Type” “RIO JANEIRO” “compressus” A red label is added with the following text: “ HOLOTYPE / Carpophilus compressus Murray /Det. By/Powell and Martin 2019”.
