(Pa^e 144) 



Body rather broad, feebly fusiform; head, pronotum and elytra finely 

 shagreened in surface; the head broad, narrower than pronotum, very fine- 

 ly or indistinctly punctated; the antennae long, feebly thickened distal- 

 ly, their second and third joints about of same lengthy elongate, the mid- 

 dle ones (7-10) as long as broad or feebly transverse, distal joint, espe- 

 cially in the 8^, oblong, as long as the two next-last joints together. 

 Pronotum is broader than in castanoptera , a little narrower than elytra, 

 Ij times as broad as long with anteriorly feebly rounded , posteriorly al- 

 most even sides, very finely and not densely punctated, with a slight trans- 



(Page 145) 

 versal impression posteriorly before the scutellum and often a feeble groove 

 in middle line. Elytra 1^ times as long as pronotum, with rather robust 

 and dense granulate punctation; the first three free dorsal joints of ab- 

 domen with scattered and fine punctation, the tvi/o following almost smooth. 

 L. 3.5-4.5 mm. 



In the Cy the antennal distal joint fully as long as in the Q ; poster- 

 ior margin of sixth free dorsal joint of abdomen evenly truncated or slight- 

 ly incurved, but not notched, neither are the corners dentiform as in the 

 following species of the subgenus; the next-last ventral joint is a little 

 elongate and more tapering than in the Q , where it is roundly curtailed 

 or feebly emarginate at middle. 



Of this species which is distributed in Middle and North liurrfpe also 

 in Scotland, but rare everywhere, a few specimens are found in the vicini- 

 ty of Aalborg (Festrup forest) and at Ilillerpd under leaves and fa-jot (Au* 

 thor 5/1890, 6/1904-05, 5/1909).
