 tipped. Pronotum is short, as broad as elytra, twice as broad as long, 

 anteriorly hardly narrowing with smoothly rounded sides, and rounded off 

 obtuse-angular hind corners, posterior margin inside these very flatly 

 Incurved, dorsum slightly convex, very finely and densely punctated, most 

 often with a feeble fovea posteriorly before scutellum. Elytra 1 '/^ times 

 as long as pronotum, with very dense, fine scabrous punctation, their pos- 

 terior margin inside the outer corners distinctly incurved; abdomen taper- 

 ing posteriorly, all over finely, smoothly and densely, or very densely 

 punctated. L. 2.5-3 mm. 



Of this, everywhere, very rare species I have by sifting of damp leaves 

 found a single specimen at a water hole in Sk^rping forest south of Aal- 

 borg (10. 90); it belongs to the dark-legged form (v. nigripes Thoms.)», 

 which especially occurs in North Europe (Skaane).

Of our four to this genus belonging species, the first two, procidua , 

 incrassata . were by Kraatz assigned to Oxypoda , other authors (Erichson 

 liulsant) have dlscribed them as Homalota species, and still others (-Janjl- 

 bauer, Bernhauer) have placed these and the fourth species, picina , in 

 separate genera. It is thereby beforehand evident, that our Ocyusa species 

 correlatively present differences not unimportant, which also in some re- 

 spects applios to their appearance. ™hile thus procidua and incrassata 

 most nearly resemble the small ^riecies of Homalota , maura is more like a
