 fine spines, the latter with two longer uncus at apex, tarsi long 

 and slender, 5-jointed, first joint of middle- and hind-tarsi as 

 long as the three following, gradually shorter joints together, on 

 ventral side finely haired, but without spines. 



In the (5^ the abdominal sixth ventral joint is at tip concave or 

 squarely truncated, in the O convex. 



The species live - as the genus name indicates - particularly in 

 fungi. Of the in Middle- and North-Europe distributed 9 species, 5 are 

 heretofore found in Benmark, 2 or 3 of the rest may possibly still 

 be encountered, and are included in the following. 



Key to Subgenera and Species. 



1. Antennae short and remarkably robust, their middle- and next-last 



joints strobgly transverse, the next-last ones more than 

 twice as broad as long. Maxillary palpi thick. Abdomen only 

 feebly tapering: 3. subgenus Carphacis Joz.- Elytra brown- or 

 yellowish-red with a black spot on the outer posterior corr 



ners. L. 5-6 mm 8. B. striatus 01 iv. 



Antennae more or less long and slender, their next-last joints 

 as long as broad or not strongly transverse. Maxillary palpi 

 rather slender. Abdomen strongly tapering 2. 



2. Head remarkably long and narrow with oval, not protruding eyes:
