 robust, dense punctation, finely haired; abdomen with coarse, and 

 sparse punctation, sparse and long hair. L. 7-S mm. 



In the cf the two first Joints of the fore-tarsi, stronsly, the 

 third feebly dilated; middle-tibiae strongly broadened toward tip, 

 and have at the end two long spiniform processes, of which the inner 

 is robust, and obliquely truncated at tip; first joint of middle- 

 tarsi is plate-shaped, and roundedly widened downwardly; sixth ab- 

 dominal ventral joint with a narrow incision in tip. 



On damp woodland ground under leaves and moss or in old stubs; 

 distributed in the greater part of Europe, but everywhere, here also, 

 rare or very rare. 



A very closely allied species, B. formosus iravh. , is found in 

 Middle Europe, and in Finland. It is smaller, narrower, and some- 

 what of lighter color; elytra is very sparsely punctated. In the & 

 the fore-tarsi only feebly, middle-tibiae and Middle-tarsi not dila- 

 ted. L. 6-7 mm. - the prospect of finding it in Denmark slight.

Very closely allied to each of the two preceding - as well as to 

 the following genus. From Bolitobius , with which it most nearly cor- 

 responds in form and lenght of last Joint of maxillary palpi, it dif- 

 fers mainly in, that the first joint of labial palpi is proportiona- 

 tely thick, and longer than the second, and that elytra is unicolor- 

 ous. From bryochari s . which it resembles most in color and appear-
