-en distinctly serrate, with a more robust and more prominent tooth in 



each corner. 



In my collection I have a specimen (o) of this species, presumably 



from North Zealand, but without exact information of place collected etc. 



The species is distributed in England and Central Eyrope, but generally 



very rare; said to be found in debris at hay stacks, withered leaves and 



etnd in alluvium. (Fowler).

From amicula , to which subtilis is somewhat similar, it is separated

 by the darker, brownish-yellow color of the legs; furthermore the anten- 

 nal middle Joints are less robust, and elytra a little longer, as a rule 

 also darker. 



Black, anteriorly rather with feeble gloss, finely haired; elytra some-

The head about as broad as pronotum, finely and not densely punctated, 

 at middle sometimes feebly grooved; eyes rather large and somewhat protru-

 than the second, the fourth as long as broad. and not broader thtin the tip 

 of the third, the middle Joints feebly, the next-last rather strongly trans- 

 verse, about twice as broad as lonj, distal Joint short and rather robust. 

 Pronotum distinctly narrower than elytra, fully 1; times ie broad as long,
