(Payk. Faun. Suec, III, 340; Brichs. Kaf. Uk. Br. I, 388; 

 Jen. Spec. Staph. 215; PLraatz Ins. C. II, 384; Thorns. Skand. Col. 

 Ill, 110; Key Drevip. 1883, 14; (Janglb. h^af. M. II, 332). 



Largest species of the genus, anteriorly strongly convex, and 



the body almost egg-shaped, is for the rest identifiable by the 



structure of the antennae. 



Shiny black, very fine and sparsely haired; tip of antennae and 

 abdomen often brownish; side-ridges of pronotum, antennae, mouth- 

 parts and legs brownish yellow. 



Antennae are rather long, longer of<?than of^, from the middle 

 smooth and not strongly thickened outwardly, with a three-jointed, 

 but not sharply set off club, inasmuch as the seventh joint, which 

 is a little longer and more robust than the sixth, at the tip is 

 about as thick as the eight at base; the distal joint is long and 

 tapering. Pronotum is strongly convex, anteriorly rounded off, at 

 base as broad as elytra, and with almost rectangular hind-corners, 

 forwardly strongly roundedly -narrowing, together with the broad 

 head entirely unpunctated and smooth; elytra are 1$ times as long 

 as pronotum, convex, with extremely fine, not dense punctation; 

 abdomen very strongly tapering, with sparse and extremely fine 

 punctation. L. 1-1.5 mm. 



The first joint of anterior tarsi of c5 very feebly dilated, 

 the next-last ventral joint of abdomen with deep emargination at 

 tip. 



Distributed in Europe, rather rare in Denmark; in alluvium,
