Black, shiny; head and pronotum specular-shining; elytra and 

 the abdomen haired; posterior margin of the abdominal seventh ventral 

 joint in living insects a lively red, in dead ones red-brownish; base 

 of the first antennal Joint, as well as knees of legs, and tarsi red- 

 dish. 



'Jith exception of the bristle-bearing punctures at inner margin 

 of the eye, the head is dorsally smooth, but back of eyes finely punc- 

 tate and finely haired, and with scattered outstanding bristles. 

 The strongly geniculate first antennal joint is as long as the 4 or 

 5 following joints together, the third shorter than the second, the 

 middle ones and next-last smoothly increasing, but rather feebly 

 transverse. Pronotum is 1/3 broader than long, rather strongly con- 

 vex; the large bristle-beari ng puncture of the side-margin stands 

 a little above the marginal ridge. Scutellum is rather densely punc- 

 tate, the middle impressed; elytra with dense and rather robust sca- 

 brose punctation; abdominal interior joints at base rather densely, 

 the rest sparsely punctate, the sides mainly toward tip with robust 

 bristle-hairs. L. 6-7 mm. 



Exceptionally rare; singly at water-edges here and there in Sjal- 



land (Charlottenlund, Frederiksdal , Vejlj/Bugt (bend), April to July). 



Distributed in Middle Europe, but not found in Norway, Sweden, or 



Finland. (Page 344)
