On the strand under seaweed; it is here found on Dyrnaes at Faaborg 

 (23. 7. ISOO, School-superintendant N. P. J^z^rgensen, Odense), later in 

 Lyjz''. Ajernaes and at Bandholm (by same). 



A very closely allied species, IjI. uvida Er. , is distributed along 



the coast of South England and Vest "ji^urope. It is larger, 3 mm long, 



lighter in color, pitch-black v.ith light rust-red antennae, mouth-parts 



and legs, elytra sometimes brownish. Often found together with sulcata 



(Fowler), and its occurrence here is not entirely improbable.

An easily identified genus, of which the most important characters 

 within the division are: the posteriorly very strongly constricted head, 

 the cordate pronotum, and the long first joint of hind tarsi. The strong- 

 ly constricted head and form of the body give these species some likeness 

 to Autalia in the follov.ing division, out is decisively separated from 

 this genus Ly, inter alia, that only the fore-tarsi are 4-jointed. 



The head is proportionately large, rounded, free, posteriorly strong- 

 'ly neck-shaped constricted; the neck very thin, hardly i as broad as the 

 head between the eyes; the eyes rather large, not protruding; temples and 

 genae marginate; antennae rather robust and slightly thickened distally. 



Pronotum more or less cordate, at middle-line often deeply grooved;
