 well as the long first joint of hind tarsi will - even without consider- 

 ing that the fore-tarsi are 5-jointed - easily prevent confusion with 

 either of these Homalota species. 



Distributed throughout North and Middle Europe; in this country it 

 is very rare, and heretofore only found very sparsely on high ground under 

 leaves in Lindum forest, south of Hobro (6. 89-92, author).

From the preceding species, to v.hich it is closest allied, it is easi- 

 ly separated by the color, longer elytra, and also by the difference in 

 punctation of abdomen. (Page 61) 



The body is elongate and rather equally broad, rather glistening, very 

 fine and dense silky-glistening-haired, black, but pronotum and elytra yel- 

 lowish-red or light brownish-red; antennae brownish-red, their base, and 

 the legs reddish-yellow. 



The head is distinctly smaller and narrower than in the preceding spe- 

 cies, especially finely and rather densely punctated; antennae slender, 

 hardly thickened distally, their third joint as long as the second or a 

 trifle shorter than this, the next-last ones as long as broad or feebly 

 transverse, distal joint long-tapering. Pronotum large, broader than elytra 

 and with a broader dorsum tnan these, about 1^ times as broad as long, an- 

 teriorly slightly narrowing and compressed, rather convex, especially fine- 

 ly and very densely punctated, without impression. Elytra hardly as Ion:
