 ^ariety of this species, from which It as a whole only differs in, 

 that the next-last three „oints of the antennae are distinctly trans- 

 verse, and that the transversal ridge on base of the abdominal second 

 and third free dorsal Joints is liniar v<ithout angulate tip at middle. 

 L. 5-7 mm. 



Listributed like ebeninus and it is common here at manure, carrion 

 and under rotten plants. One form with brownish-yellow legs, ab. ochre - 

 pus jravh., is i^ere.

 D. II, 599; Thorns. Skand. Ool. II, 160; ianglb. Kaf. U. II, 452). 



In appearance especially like concinnus , from which it mainly dif- 

 fers in, that the first Joint of hind tarsi is distinctly shorter, 

 only of equal length with the claw-joint. 



Entirely black or the fore-tarsi alone brownish; head and prono- 

 tum polished; elytra without metal reflection, elytra and abdomen 

 glistening and black-haired. 



The head is rounded-s-iuare , in the Q about as broad as pronotum, 

 in robust do a little broader than this; the middle punctures in the 

 transversal punctate row of the forehead are closer together than in 

 concinnus, and are rather robust; antennae rather slender, their next- 

 last Joints as lon^ as broad; pronotum anteriorly scarcely narrowed, 

 somewhat narrower than elytra, as long as broad, with 5 punctures in 

 each dorsal row, iand with 5 side-punctures, cf which the two hindmost 

 are placed more oblio^uely toward the dorsal row than in ebenius and
