Distributed at the coasts of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea on sandy

From balticus, which it resembles in regard to color and length of el- 

 ytra it is separated by the following details: 



It is considerably larger, lighter yellow or pale yellow, entirely dull; 

 the head brownish-red or black, the middle joints of abdomen black; third 

 joint of the antennae a little longer than in balticus , about half as long 

 as the second; elytra almost only half as long as pronotum, posteriorly 

 feebly broadened and here fully as broad as the pronotum anteriorly; ab- 

 domen posteriorly feebly broadened, to the tip with fine and extremely 

 dense granulate punctation and therefore dull. L. 2.5-3 nm. 



In the u the posterior margin of fifth ventral joint of abdomen in- 

 curved, at middle, and the sixth at tip obtuse -angularly prolonged. (t.Sanglb.). 



Distributed at the coasts of Holland and North France on sandy shores, 



especially under carrion. Is heretofore not found in this country, but is 



not improbable, particularly on the strand along our western coast.
