A slightly elongete, anteriorly ritl}el-l gtronjly narrowing species *ith 

 narrower head, smaller eyes, longer temples and narrower pronotum than 

 any of the preceding species; further recognizeable by the color. 



(Page 273) 



Pitch-black or brown-black, with greasy gloss; elytra often reddish- 

 brown at middle; antennae, mouth-parts and legs yellow. 



The entire surface of the body especially finely reticulated and due 

 to this with modulated shine; the head a little narrower than pronotum, 

 posteriorly not strongly narrowing, with rather large, but not strongly 

 protruding eyes, and of same length as the temples; on sides with rather 

 fine and sparse punctation; antennae from the first joint smoothly thick- 

 ened distally, the middle joints feebly, the next-last more strongly trans- 

 verse, l^nd iV times as broad as long. Pronotum li times as broad as long, 

 feebly narrowing anteriorly, with rounded sides, at middle with two, most 

 often feebly depressed, somewhat Irregular longitudinal rows of punctures; 

 elsewhere with simple punctation; elytra amply 1//^ times as long as pro- 

 notum and much broader than this, feebly broadened posteriorly, with scat- 

 tered and very fine granulate-punctation; abdomen indistinctly punctated. 

 L. 1.3-1.5 mm. 



In the d^ the fifth free dorsal joint of abdomen with a transverse row 

 of six granules, posterior margin of the sixth at middle with two very 

 small, short spines and at each side with a longer, inv.ard curved tooth 

 or spine; on dorsal side, midway before posterior margin as a rule (when 

 the joint is not drawn in) two small granules are visible (fig. 58).
