 and farther from the anterior margin than their distance between 

 each other. Antennae 1/3 longer than pronotum, shiny and naked, and 

 have besides the usual three punctatea stripes (suture- dorsal- and 

 side-stripe) a few incomplete rows of fine punctures between suture- 

 and dorsal-stripe, and between this and the side-stripe; dorsal- 

 stripe has 5-8 punctures. Abdomen gradually tapering, with rather 

 robust and dense punctation, sparse yellow hair and with many out- 

 standing side-bristles. L. 5-7 mm.

In the ^ the antennae is a little more slender than in the p t 

 their next-last joints hardly as broad as long, in the O distinct-

On damp woodland ground, and bogs, under leaves and moss, but 

 very rare, and seemingly local (Ermelund, Krederiksdal , Donse, lioor 

 at Hillerod, and several other places in Northsjaelland) . Distributed 

 in the greater part of Europe.

Closely allied to cernuus , but lighter of color, and oftenest 

 smaller, also identifiable by the position of the anterior marginal 

 punctures of pronotum.
