Elongate oblong oval, 1.92.0 times as long as wide (Fig. 1), dorsum weakly convex, dorsal pubes- cence dense and yellowish white. Head, pronotum, scutellum and elytra light-brown, and antennae, mouth parts and legs reddish brown. Underside brown. Body length: 1.92.0 mm, width 1 mm. Head large, width including eyes two-thirds as much as pronotal width; eyes relatuvely small, maximum diameter about 0.5 of interocular distance. Frons weakly convex, strong- ly and coarsely punctate, distance between punctures much narrower than the diameter of puncture Antennae nearly as long as pronotal width, relatively stout. Basal segment cylin- drical, a little longer than thick; second somewhat shorter and much narrower than basal; third distinctly longer than sec- ond; fourth nearly as long as second; eighth nearly as long as wide; ninth distinctly wider than long, distinctly thickening apically; tenth nearly as ninth in size and shape; terminal segment pyriform, as long as thick with pointed narrow tip. Pronotum transverse oblong, 0.640.67 as long as wide, and 0.390.42 times as long as length of elytra. Lateral sides weakly arcuately narrowing anteriorly, widest near middle of ABSTRACT.

Introduction This publication is based on the material collected by S.A. Kurbatov in the Russian Far East and China. The fauna of this regions is little known. This material contains some rare species of Cryptophagidae (Cryp- tophagus decoratus Reitter, 1874, C. fusciclavis Bruce, 1943, C. klapperichi Bruce, 1943, C. latangulus Reit- ter, 1889, C. pseudoschmidti Woodroffe, 1970, C. zona- tus Lyubarsky, 1995, Atomaria convexiuscula Reitter, 1888, A. flava Johnson, 1968, A. fuscipes Gyllenhal, 1808, A. plicatoides Johnson, 1970, A. punctithorax Reitter, 1888) and new species of the genus Cryptophi- lus Reitter, 1874. Taxonomic part Family Erotylidae Latreille, 1802 Genus Cryptophilus Reitter, 1874 The genus belongs to the family Erotylidae [Le- schen, 2003]. Cryptophilus are sapro/mycetophagous [Leschen & Buckley, 2007], inhabits decaying plant material, stored grain. Some species of related genera either live on cycad pollen, being sometimes cycad pollinators [Chaves & Genaro, 2005], or being phoretic on cricetine rodents [Leschen & Ashe, 1999] and en- doparasitic of lepidoptera pupae [Leschen, 1997]. Cryp- tophilus is usually found in fallen leaves and hay. Nine species of the genus are distributed in Palae- arctic [Wegrzynowicz, 2007]:
