Much like the following species (see same) from which it only is sepa- 

 rated by, that the sides of pronotum are less rounded, end elytra more dis- 

 tinctly and densely punctated (however much finer and less densely than in 

 nana ) ; the sex-characters of the o are also different. L. 1.5-2 mm. 



In the o^ the fifth fr^ie dorsal joint of abdomen with a transverse row 

 of small carinae, posterior margin of the sixth at middle with a narrow, 

 at tip divided tooth or a double spine, above this often with two granules, 

 furthermore at each side with a longer inwardly curved tooth or spine. 



Distributed in our woodland regions, and in the fall not rare in fungi. 



Middle Europe; Skaane.

Especially identified by the fine, isolated punctation of elytra, s.nd 

 by the sex-characters of the o . 



Reddish-yellow; the head black or pitch-black; pronotum often brownish; 

 outer hind corners of elytra and a band before abdominal tip black or brown- 

 black; antennae toward tip most often brownish, elsewhere together with mouth- 

 parts and legs yellow. 



The head on sides with simple and coarse punctation; antennae rather short, 

 their middle and next-last joints (5-10) transverse; pronotum twice as broad 

 as long with rather strongly rounded sides, at middle with two, slightly grooved,
