Antennae are slender, feebly thichened outward, their next-last 

 joint as broad as long; pronotum strongly convex, broader than elytra, 

 sides posteriorly in front of posterior corners rather strongly 

 rounded, these obtuse-angular and back-margin inside of them slight- 

 ly femarjltratd , dorsal side with extremely fine and very dense punct- 

 ation, the surface with extremely fine transversal aciculations; 

 elytra 1/3 longer- than pronotum, together with abdomen with very 

 fine and dense punctation, only at tip of the latter with long bristle- 

 hair. L. 4-4.5 ram. (Page 302) 



Common everywhere in woods and parks under foliage, in old stubs 

 and hollow trees, also under dry twigs, in plant-waste and at f un- - 

 gus. Distributed in ilurope. 



5. C. immaculata Steph. 



(Steph. III. Brit. V, l&O; ^anglb. Kaf. M. II, 357.- fuscula 

 Erichs. Kaf. Mk. Br. I. 391; Jen. Spec. Staph. 229; Kraatz Ins. D. 

 II, 436; Thorns. Skand. Col. IX, 298; Key Brevip. 1883, 53). 



In form, color and punctation entirely like pubescens, but con- 

 siderably smaller than this, oftenest only hall' as large; antennae 

 proportionally shorter and outwardly somewhat more robust, their 

 next-last joint feebly truncated; sides of pronotum in front of pos- 

 terior corners only feebly rounded; these almost rectangular and 

 back-margin inside of them not distinctly curved outwardly; brist- 

 le-hair of abdominal tip more robust. L. £.5-3 mm. 



It lives under same conditions as pubescens , and distributed 

 with same, but much less common.
