Carpophilus alexandrae resembles Carpophilus marginatus Erichson (Fig. 1E) and Carpophilus veraepacis Sharp (Fig. 1F) but differs in the following ways: elytral apices truncate (rounded in C. veraepacis and receding at midline in C. marginatus); pronotal margins converging with rounded anterior fourth with weak lateral expansion (pronotal margins broadly rounded in C. veraepacis); scutellar shield forming an acute point posteriorly (broadly rounded in C. marginatus); coloration much darker (paler in C. marginatus); and genitalia lacking bulge at midpoint on external margin (bulge present in C. marginatus (Fig. 2D)).</p><p>Description. Body weakly ovate, moderately dorso-ventrally flattened. Length 1.28 mm, width 0.68 mm. Color dark brown, pronotal margins paler. Ventral surface light brown. Dorsal sculpturing moderately shiny; dorsum with fine, golden pubescence. Head: Narrower than pronotum, finely punctured. Punctures uniform in size, becoming sparser at midline. Fronto-clypeal region truncate, labrum emarginate, mandibles toothed, light brown. Palps fusiform, reaching about 2/3 length of mandibles. Eyes small, finely faceted, interocular distance 0.25 mm (n = 2). Antenna 1.5× longer than head; antennomere 1 robust and curved, antennomere 2 long, as long as basal segment, antennomeres 2 and 3 subequal in length, antennomeres 2–8 expanding apically, with each apical expansion conspicuously lighter in coloration, antennomeres 4–8 each about half length of antennomere 2, antennomeres 9–11 forming strong, compact club, slightly longer than wide.
