 elytra. It times as broad as long, anteriorly narrowing with slightly 

 rounded sides, its dorsal side convex, finely and not densely punctated. 

 The elytra are a little shorter than pronotum, rather densely and robust- 

 ly punctated, their posterior margin inside the outer corners feebly eeiar- 

 2inedi :..bdomen only a little tapering, the transversal grooves robustly 

 and densely, and elsewhere all the joints smoothly, rather robustly and 

 densely punctated. Mesosternum is carinated. L. 3-4 mm.

 It is most often and most abundantly found in gnaw-crumblings in poplars, 

 which have been attacked by the Cossus larvae, more rarely and singly un- 

 der leaves and at excrements etc. Cistributed and not rare in spots.

(Mannerh. Brach. 67; Kraatz Ins. D. II, 94. - alutacea Muls. et Pey 

 Erevip. 1874, 106). 



Closely allied to moesta Jravh., from which it is separated especial- 

 ly by, narrower head, slenderer antennae, narrower, more finely punctated, 

 finely transversally aciculated pronotum, also by more dully glistening 

 elytra. 



Black, madified glistening, f inelyhaired ; antennal base and legs brown- 

 ish, knees and tarsi lighter. 



The head Is narrow with almost linear sides, finely punctated; antennae 

 toward tip feebly thickened, their second and third joints somewhat elon- 

 gate and of equal length, the fourth longer than broad, the next-laet ones 

 scarcely or very little transverse. Pronotum distinctly narrower than el- 

 ytra, 1^ times as broart as lon;^, roundly narrowing anteriorly, rather flat- 

 ly convex, finely and not densely punctated, the surface - like the rest 



of the dorsal part of the forebody - very finely transversally aciculated
