 ance, it differs namely in, that the antennae are rather short, eyes 

 flat, last joints of maxillary palpi finer and either more cylinder- 

 ic or more feebly tapering, and that the first joints of middle- and 

 hind-tarsi on ventral side is haired only, but without distinct spi- 

 nes. To following genus, Mycetoporus . it forms a transition, in that 

 the last joint of maxillary palpi is occasionally (especially in B. 

 crassicornis) distinctly narrower than the next-last, not however 

 nearly as finely or styliform as in that genus.

 Of the three or four species distributed in North and f/iiddle Euf 

 rope two are heretofore found in Denmark, a third occurs in Skaane, 

 which presumably may be discovered here also, and is included in the 

 following. They live principally on damp ground under foliage and 

 moss, an occasional one of them also in fungi.
