 most with more scatterd punctation. Middle- and hind-tibiae each with a 

 robust bristle at middle. L. 3 mm. 



In the "$ the abdominal next-last ventral joint somewhat elongate and 

 rounded off, in the p feebly emarginate. 



Distributed, but rarer than the preceding species; at manure and rot-

(Eppelsh. Stett. Bnt. Ztg. 1895, 365; Janglb. Kaf. \k. II, 155.) 



In relation to the tv.o preceding species this is especially recognized 

 by the color of pronotum and the short elytra, also by, that the fourth 

 antennal joint is longer than broad. 



Black or pitch-brown, greasy shine, finely haired; pronotal sides most 

 often reddish brown; elytra and abdominal tip reddish-brown; legs reddish 

 yellow. 



Head rather large, finely, but not densely punctated; antennae rather 

 long and robust, their third joint longer than the second, the fourth loag- 

 er than broad, the following (5-10) of e^ual breadth and almost of equal 

 length, scarcely transverse, compact, distal joint tapering, ar long as the 

 two next-last joints together. Pronotum behind middle as broad as elytra, 

 1* times as broad as long, anteriorly only narrowing a trifle more than pos- 

 teriorly, sides rather smoothly rounded, hind corners broadly rounded off, 

 dorsum slightly convex, very finely and rather densely punctated, without 

 outstanding side-bristles. Elytra snort, scarcely longer than pronotum, very
