 sum- aDd suture-stripe, the surface otherwise smooth and shiny; ab- 

 domen feebly tapering, rather robust, sparsely punctated. L. 5-6 mm. 

 In the S the abdominal sixth ventral joint posteriorly feebly 



impressed and smooth, its posterior margin at each side slightly emai=- 

 Slnate. 



Distributed in Middle- and North-Europe, but everywhere rare; in 

 Eenmark it is heretofore found only singly in Lindum Forest south of 

 Hobro.on P olyp onis fungi (6. 1885 and 6. 1687, Lje^vendal). In Skaane 

 it is taken at outflowing tree-sap (Thorns.).

Very closely allied to Bolitobius , from which it differs by the 



following characteristics; 



The last joint of maxillary palpi is thick, at base about as thick 



as the next-last, conically tapering; labial palpi remarkably thick,

 their distal joint thick, spoolshaped, proportionately long; first 



joint of middle- and hind-tarsi have on their ventral side several 



fine, though distinct spines, which are not found in the preceding 



or following genus; head is short, with somewhat protruding eyes; 



antennae long and slender, considerably longer than head and prono- 



tum together; pronotum posteriorly as broad as or broader than elytra, 



and these are unicolorous. In the 6' the three first joints of the 



fore-tarsi are more or less dilated, and in connection therewith sev-
