 On damp forest- or marsh -ground, but not common, in several 

 localitias, for Instance in northern Jutland, rare. Distributed 

 in Middle and North Europe, though it has heretofore not occurred 

 in Sweden. 



6. U. tenuis Mule. 



(Muls. et Rey Op. Ent. II, 67; Kraatz Ins. D. II, 464; Thorns. 

 Skand. Col. Ill, 163; Fey Brevip. 1883, 260. - Mulsanti Janglb. Kaf. 

 K. II. 375). 



Narrowly fusiform like nanus , and oftenest somewhat smaller, 

 with with shorter pronotum and elytra, also distinguishable by the 

 color. (Page 337) 



Reddish-yellow, shining; the head, metasternum, and abdomen, ex« 

 cept the posterior margins of the joints, pitch-black or pitch-brown; 

 the antennae oftenest entirely reddish-yellow. 



The antennae are a little more robust than in nanus. their third 

 joint as long as the second, but thinner, the next-last distinctly 

 transverse; pronotum as broad as elytra, broader than long, anteri- 

 orly rather feebly narrowing, without disciform punctures on the si- 

 des; elytra only a little longer than pronotum, punctation about same 

 as in the preceding species; the abdomen rather feebly tapering, fine- 

 ly and sparsely punctated. L. 2.5-3 mm. 



A single specimen of this species was found near Mariager under 

 heather (0. Jacobsen 8. 1884). Said to be distributed throughout the 

 greater part of Europe (Sanglb.); is not found in Sweden and Norway, 

 but in Finland and Lapland (Jrill Cat. Col.).
