 entirely black antennae, less slender tarsi, and somewhat more ro- 

 bustly punctated elytra etc. 



Black; head and pronotum polished with darkly greenish bronze- 

 lustre, elytra with feeble, darkish-bronze lustre, together with the 

 abdomen finely black-haired, abdomen occasionally with feebly change- 

 able color. 



The head is short oval, much narrower than pronotum; the anten- 

 nae distinctly more robust and shorter than in the preceding species, 



and the next-last joints noticeably transverse, pronotum broader, with 



(Page 398) 



the same number of punctures as in fuscipennis ; elytra with dense sca- 

 brous punctation of modified lustre; abdomen rather densely and fine- 

 ly punctate. L. 9-11 mm. 



In the o^ the fore-tarsi is only very feebly dilated; the abdomi- 

 nal sixth ventral joint with obtuse-angulate incision at tip. 



Distributed in Europe, but very rare in our country; on damp 

 ground under leaves and moss, also at water-edges in alluvium. (Ama-
