7Ca. li. perexiaua Sharp. 



(Sharp Fev. Brit. Horn. 215; Jan^'lb. Kaf. M. II, 196). 



From atomarla it is namely separated by, that its pronotum is distincV 

 ly narrov.er than elytra, and that it is smaller. L. 1 mm. 



Distributed in Middle Europe. A single specimen in my collection, found 

 at Ske^rping under carrion, is apparently this species.
