Abraeinae – Taxon details on BugGuide.

Abraeinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are at least 20 genera and at least 440 described species in Abraeinae.[1][2]
Acritus nigricornis

Many of the groups are tiny, with adults less than 2 mm in length. These beetles are diverse in form with a small oval specie that separates them from all the other histerids expect for the Bacaniini. The Abraeinae lacks of a separate basal piece of the aedeagus.
