(Pa^e 271) 



Read, pronotum and elytra extremely finely shagreened in surface; the 

 head on sides with scattered, large punctation; antennal middle and next- 

 last joints (5-10) rather strongly transverse, evenly broad; pronotum twice 

 as broad as long, with smoothly/, not strongly rounded sides, its dorsum e- 

 specially in\^ardly toward middle with scattered and rather large, but not 

 deep punctation, at middle before posterior margin with two single larger 

 punctures, but at middle - in contrast to several closely allied species: 

 bihamata . f asciijta - without longitudinal rows of punctures; elytra longer 

 than pronotum, at middle finely and rather slightly punctated; abdomen some- 

 what tapering, impunctate. L. 1.5 mm. 



In the o the fifth free dorsal joint of abdomen before posterior mart;in 

 with a transverse row of longish granules, of vhich the two at middle slant 

 tov.ard each other; posterior margin of the sixth joint at middle with two 

 closely set, narrow spines and at each side a more robust, slightly inward 

 curved spine or tooth. 



Distributed In North and Kiddle Europe, and not very rare in this coun- 

 try; most often on tree-fungi (Geelskov; Thureby; Cdense; Vejle, Aalborg et al.)

A very small species, in combination with this identifiable by the color, 

 and punctation of elytra. 



Reddish-yellow, glistening; the head, outer hind corners of elytra, and 

 a band before abdominal tip pitch-black or pitch-brown; antennae, mouth-parts 

 and legs yellow.
