Small, brown beetle?

[bruinblue]

Hello everyone,

For the past 2 weeks or so we have been seeing these little bugs around the home. They have been found on linen, carpet, kitchen, window sills, etc.

They do not appear to have wings and they do not fly away when we pick them up. They are rather slow moving, dark brown with a verticle line that runs from what appears to be the neck to the bottom.

They are driving us crazy..any help with identification is appreciated.

thank you in advance!!

Tenebrionidae: Genus Tribolium, I think

Possibly, Tribolium confusum (DuVal), but since the photos aren't very detailed, Tribolium castaneum is the other possibility. Both are cosmopolitan pests of stored grains. You'd have to use a key to separate them, since I can't see what I need to see.
