(Muls. et Rey Bre'vip. 1874, 390; Janglb. Kaf. M. II, 87). 



Only about half as large as angulata , also of more even breadth and 

 narrower, otherwise especially identified by gloss of head and pronotuni, 

 which in comparison with the preceding species is quite pronounced.

Black or brownish black, finely haired; head, pronotum and abdomen 

 rather ^listening; pronotal hind corners occasionally reddish; elytra 

 li^ht brownieh-red, the sides often brownish black; abdomen brownish-red 

 with yellowish-red tip, its middle joints black at base; antennae, max- 

 illary palpi, and legs reddish-yellow. 



Head end pronotum are considerably finer punctated than in angulata , 

 the surface indistinctly shagreened, therefore sjlistening; antennae feeb- 

 ly thickened distally, their third joint not longer than the second, the 

 outer joints (€-10) feebly transverse, 1^ times as broad as long, not ar- 

 ticulate. Pronotum as broad as elytra, but somewhat narrower than in ari- 

 g;ulata , only 1^ times as broad as long, more convex than in that species, 

 feebly grooved in middle-line, its posterior margin inside hind corners 

 hardly produced; elytra with distinct and rather dense scabrous puncta- 

 tlon; abdominal punctatlon same as in anf^ulata . I. 2-2. E mm. 



Distributed in Middle Europe, and lives exclusively in the mounds of 

 Formica exsecta ; very rare in thip country, and heretofore only found a 

 few times (Brede and Saelso in Northsjaelland , 4. 70 and 5. 74 Lpvendal).
