Among all our Staphylinidae this is the longest, and is besides 

 also identified by the color. 



Deeply black; on account of an extremely dense, very fine punc- 

 tation and a very fine, blackish-brown hair-vestiture the head, pro- 

 notum, and elytra are -julte dull; the abdomen is, due to a little less 

 dense punctation semi-shiny; antennae brownish toward tip. 



The head is broadly square, as broad as, or broader than prono- 

 tum; teasples considerably longer than the eyes, and with rounded off 

 temple-corners; antennae rather slender, from the middle distinctly 

 thinned outwardly, their distal joint strongly emarginate; pronotum 

 not narrowing posteriorly, about as long and broad as elytra. Fore- 

 tibiae on outer side finely spiniferous. L. 24-30 mm. (Fig. 1 and 5). 



In the O the sixth ventral abdominal joint broadly emarginate at tip. 



Distributed in Europe, and rather common here in all our wood- 

 land regions, under leaves and moss, more rare in treeless regions, 

 heather ground or in dunes. - In its eggs a wasp parasiteses, Lltus 

 Krygeri Kief. : :Hr. Teacher J. P. Kryger, Jentofte, reared from ane 

 single egg 70 specimens of this extremely small parasitic v/asp (29.
