Unidentified - Requires an ID - a photo on Flickriver

Black Heaven

Description: All I know is that this is a member of the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Scarabaeiformia, superfamily Scarabaeoidea, family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Aphodiinae. I suspect upon the tribe Eupariini and genus Ataenius but I can't be sure, so I'll leave this as unidentified for now. This micro beetle measured around 1,5mm in length and 1mm in width. The elytra had many stretch marks with shallow and short inbetweens. The body is elongate and the beetle itself was flat. The head was smooth. From what I could see, the metatibiae possessed a reddish-brown coloring and three apical spurs distally from the body. I'm not sure about the exact appearance of the pronotrum; in the images it seems smooth without any bigger details but pictures can deceive and I didn't take notice personally. The antennae seemed to possess around 9 segments, with no certainty on this. Further information will be appreciated and credited, although I'm unsure if it is possible with these pictures alone. You can find more pictures of the same individual in my Flickr.
