In form, color and size much like Bryocharls anal is, but with 

 shorter, less robust antennae, entirely flat eyes, and feebly punct- 

 ated pronotum, et. al. 



Black, shining; elytra and posterior margins of the abdominal joints 

 brownish-red or red; - occasionally the last two-three abdominal joints 

 or pronotum are also pitch-brown or red (v. merdarius) ; antennae are 

 pitch-colored, their base, mouth-parts, and legs reddish yellow. 



The body is narrowly fusiform; the head thicker than in Bryocharis 

 analis . shiny, and the eyes, which in this species are somewhat pro- 

 truding, are here quite flat, and set completely in the rounding of 

 the head; antennae scarcely reach the posterior margin of pronotum, 

 and are only feebly thickened outwardly, their distal joint in c? , in 

 contrast to Br. analis . not longer than in Q . Pronotum is poster- 

 iorly as broad as elytra, anteriorly rather strongly narrowing, slight- 

 ly convex, scattered and particularly fine punctation, the surface 

 extremely finely transversally aciculated; the tv,o middle bristle-bear- 

 ing punctures at the anterior margin of pronotum are set far back.
