 as long, distal Joint rather robust, about as long as the two next-last 

 joints together. Pronotum nearly twice as broad as long, hardly narrower 

 than elytra, I'eebly narrowing anteriorly and with slightly rounded sides 

 without outstanding side-bristles, slightly convex, distinctly and dense- 

 ly punctated, middle-line distinctly grooved; its posterior margin dis- 

 tinctly undate. Elytra ^ longer than pronotum, punctated like this, their 

 posterior margin inside the outer corners flatly undate; abdomen tapering, 

 anteriorly rather densely and finely, posteriorly sparsely punctated, its 

 sides bristle-haired; the middle and hindmost tibiae with only a very short 

 bristle at middle. L. 2.f-3 mm. 



In the o the posterior margin of the sixth free dorsal joint of abdom- 

 en with four teeth, which are separated by three equally large undulations*) 

 (Fig. 41), the two outer teetli are acute, the two middle ones obtuse and 

 a little shorter than the others. In the O tne posterior margin of the sans 

 joint at middle feebly undate. 



Distributed, but rather rare; on damp or semi-damp ground under leaves 



and in alluvium, also at fungi.
