The head is indistinctly punctated; antennae robust, their third joint 

 only half as lon^ as the second, the fourth short and like the middle and 

 next-last ones strongly transverse. Pronotum is about as broad as long, 

 much narrower than elytra, feebly narrowing posteriorly, very finely and 

 very densely punctated with a feeble transversal fovea before the scutel- 

 lum; elytra distinctly longer than pronotum and like this very finely and 

 densely punctated; abdomen right to the tip with extremely fine and dense 

 punctation, feebly or dully glistening. L. 2-2.5 mm. 



Tistributed all over, and not rare on damp meadow and forest ground,
