It is oftenest somewhat larjer; antennae more slender, their 

 four next-last joints - in a certain direction - longer than broad,- 

 th$ four first joints clear brownish-red; elytra somewhat longer, 

 and together with pronotum more robustly punctated, For the rest, 

 the species-difference is particularly manifested in the sex-char- 

 acters. L. 7-8 mm. 



The abdominal sixth free dorsal joint ofo'is like that of 

 proximus short elongated, but the elongated part is always eraargi- 

 nate, and thereby obtuse two-toothed. Ofp the miadle-lobe of the 

 same joint is broad with an abruptly set off, short tip, which some- 

 times is short two-toothedi 'the side-lobes are stjllTorm-r .id and 

 oftenest as long as the middle-lobe. (Fig. 104).

It is said to be distributea in the greater part of Europe 



(Sanglb.); in Sweden it is found in Skaane and Noirland; in Denmark 



it has heretofore not been identified, perhaps in the collections 



it has been mixed with proximus .

It has (according to Kraatz) a similarity to the light species 

 of I. subterraneus , from which it however differs interalia, by much 

 finer antennae. — - (Page 308) ~~ "~
