Male Zophobas morio have labrum excavated medially, as demonstrated here:

http://arachnoboards.com/threads/sexing-mealworm-beetles.141042/

or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X24WkBZUGGQ

No data available for larval stage.

Automation: use common image recognition software and video streaming, configure recognition on base of head / shape of labrum. It must work!
