It differs from the preceding species, to which it is closely 

 allied, by the following characters: 



It is oftenest somewhat larger; maxillary palpi, mouth, and legs 

 are reddish-brown, the third antennal Joint as long as the second; 

 the bristle-bearing puncture on pronotal side-margin is close to the 

 ridge; scutellum is flat, not impressed at middle; the abdomen with 

 smoother, robust punctation, often with metallic changeable coloring. 

 L. 7-9 mm. 



Very rare in Middle Europe; here it has only been found at Lyng- 

 by Lake in wet alluvium (E. Wielandt, 5. 1902, 1 specimen); also found 

 in Skaane (C, Roth). 



Both this and the preceding species, as well as Tanygnathus ter- 

 minalis . which all live in water moss ( Sphagnum ) , and among roots of 

 water plants, are on account of their hidden, partly under water, mo- 

 de of living so rarely found as the case is. The best method for ob- 

 taining specimens would presumably be by pulling the moss and plants 

 up and shake them over the sieve.
