 sharp rectangular bind, corners, strongly rounded narrowing anteriorly, con- 

 vex, rather robustly and densely punctated and with a transverse fovea 

 posteriorly before scutellum; elytra '/j longer than pronotum, with robust 

 and dense scabrous punctation, slightly impressed around scutellum and 

 obliquely across the middle, whereby a feeble oblique fold originates from 

 the base nearest humeral callus inwardly toward hindmost part of the suture. 

 The transverse grooves of the first three free dorsal joints of abdomen 

 with robust and rather dense punctation, the rest with rather fine and 

 isolated punctation. L. 4.5-5 mm.

In the iT the elytra posteriorly, along the hindmost part of the suture 

 with a loryitudinal carina, the fifth free dorsal joint of abdomen at mid- 

 dle with a rather sharp longitudinal carina and the sixth with a finer one. 



It lives in tree-fungi, but everywhere in North Europe rare and local. 



In Denmark formerly found sparsely at Ry and Silkeborg (Schijadte) , but later 



apparently not refound.

Much like preceding species, of same size and color, out a little more 

 slender; the head less strongly constricted behind and the neck more than 

 half as broad as the head at greatest diameter, the eyes less protruding; 

 pronotum as well as the head with finer and less dense punctation; impres- 

 sions and punctation of the elytra same as in lucida. L. 4.5-5 mm.
