Very closely allied to full^inosus . from which it however is 

 easily separated by the following details* 



The transversal punctate row of forehead, which by an interval 

 is divided into two even parts, contains 6-8 punctures, of which the 

 next-outmost on each side is oftenest placed a little before the 

 others; the eyes are more flat than in fuliginosus and hardly as large; 

 antennae more slender, their next-last joints, particularly in the C^ , 

 very distinctly longer than broad; pronotum proportionally longer, and 

 oftenest with three side-punctures, arranged in one, with the dorsal 



rov. parallel row; (Page 364) scutellum is 



distinctly punctate and haired; elytra and abdomen somewhat finer and 

 still denser punctated than of the preceding species. - Elytra are 

 sometimes brownish, antennae and legs rust-red. L. 10-12 ram. 



Distributed in Middle Europe and England, but not found in Swe- 

 den, Finland or Norway; in Denmark it is found here and there on san- 

 dy shores under alluvium, more rarely on woodland ground (Esbjerg, Tis- 

 vilde, several places on the coasts of Bornholm; Katholm Forest at 

 Vejle).
