(Pa-e 367) 



In the O^ the fore-tarsi are more strongly dilated than in the Q , 

 and the sixth ventral abdominal Joint emarginate- at. tip. 



Distributed in Middle Europe; also found in Skaane (Thorns.), but 

 heretofore not with certainty denoted here. However a couple of spe- 

 cimens in my collection, found in Ski^rping. Holme south of Aalborg un- 

 der very damp foliage (10.1895. auth.) are seemingly this species. 

 They resemble llmbatus Heer ( maurorufus Er.) but their elytra are a 

 little longer, somewhat broader, and unicolorous brown. No other dis- 

 tinct difference have I found. Furthermore it must be considered that 

 maurorufus iravh. and maurorufus Er. ( llmbatus Heer) are often treat- 

 ed as synonyms (Seidlitz Faun. Bait. Bd. II, 397; jfr. f.:einert Fort. 

 0, Eanm. Rovb. Ent. Meda. 1887-88, 259) and seemingly difficult to 

 separate. (Page 368)

A somewhat flat, narrowly fusiform species, identified mainly by 

 the color and punctation of the elytra. 



Black or pitch-brown, glistening; head and pronotum shiny ; .elytra 

 and abdomen finely haired; pronotum or sometimes its sides only are 

 often reddish-brown; elytra pitch-black or brownish, a large spot on 

 humerus, sides, posterior margin, and oftenest also the suture brown- 

 ish-yellow; abdomen pitch-black or brownish-red with lighter margins 

 of joints; antennae, mouth-parts, and legs reddish-yellow.
