 Black, very finely yellow-grayish haired, with moderated silky gloss; 

 antennae brownish, their base, mouth-parts and legs brownish yellow or yel- 

 lowi?h-red. 



Surface of the body all over especially finely and densely shagreened; 

 the head with very fine, scattered punctation, and often with a small fovea 

 at middle; antennae considerably longer than head and pronotura to^jether, 

 slightly thickened distally, their first three joints rather elongated, 

 of equal length, the fourth longer than broad, the next-last about as broad 

 as long, distal joint oblong-tapering. Pronotum (see above) is anteriorly 

 more rounded and narrowing than posteriorly, behind middle about as broad 

 as elytra, very finely and densely punctated, with a more or less distinct 

 transverse fovea posteriorly before the scutellum, and in the o a flat lon-

 domen feebly tapering posteriorly, its first four free ciorsal joints with 

 dense and fine, the following more robust, distinctly scabrous punctation. 

 L. 3-4 mm. 



Next in importance, after the distinct longitudinal impression on pro- 

 notum, fls identification character, is that the punctation of the fifth 

 and especially sixth free dorsal Joints of abdomen in the o^is much more 

 robust than in the O , finely muricate; posterior margin cf the sixth free 



joint is straight and very finely serrated.

on marshy ground and in alluvium at miry lake shores (Odense; Ilillerod, 



and other places in Nordsjaelland) .
