 In the o the abdominal fifth and sixth ventral Joints are at mldale 

 slightly grooved, and the sixth furthermore feebly emarginate at tip. 



In this country heretofore seemingly not found outside of Sjaelland, 

 and there rare and local; in alluvium, under moss and vegetation at lakes 

 and marshy woodland pools (Vicinity of Copenhagen, Amager, Lyngby moors, 

 Flommen at Sorji). Distributed mostly in North Europe, reaching up to Lap- 

 land.

Very closely allied to elon^atum , and at times quite difficult to 



separate it from this. As a rule the red color of the elytra is darker, 



more brownish, the body a little more slender, head and pronotum narrower; 



(Page 449) 



but most surely the species are separated by the difference of sex-char- 



acters in the Oo* 



Black, glistening; elytra and abdomen finely haired; elytra either 

 entirely red with a narrow black base (var. Letzneri 5erh.) or entirely 

 brownish-red; antennae and mouth-parts red, legs yellowish-red. 



Body of uniform breadth and slender; head as broad as pronotum, feeb- 

 ly oviform, on sides with rather dense and robust, at middle with more 

 scattered punctation; antennae slender, their middle joints a littie 

 longer than broad; pronotum oblong with parallel sides, a little narrow- 

 er than elytra, robustly and rather densely punctate, at middle line smooth;
