 In the 3^ the head at middle most often slightly impressed and the 

 longitudinal groove on pronotum more distinct than in the o J the ab- 

 dominal next-last ventral joint is elongate, somewhat narrowed and round- 

 ed off at tip. 



A northern species, known especially from Scotland, Iceland, the 

 northern part of Norway and Finland. In this country only a few speci- 

 mens have heretofore been found at Hiller^d on damp forest and and boggy 

 ground under leaves (4. 1905-06. Auth.). 



113. H. clavipes Sharp. 

 (Sharp Rev. Erit. Kom. 1869, 124. 5anglb. Kaf. M. II, 223). 

 Closely allied to H. elongatula , but larger and considerably more 

 robust, most often also darker in color; pronotum is broader and more 

 convex, elytra obviously shorter, and abdomen, especially posteriorly, 

 more densely punctated. 



Black, glistening, finely haired; elytra and abdominal tip often brown- 

 ish; antennae pitch colored, their base, mouth-parts and legs brownish 

 yellow-red. 



The head is rather broad, rounded, with normally large, slightly pro- 

 truding eyes, considerably narrower than pronotum, particularly finely 

 and rather densely punctated, most often with a short groove or a feeble 

 Impression at middle; antennae rather long and scarcely thickened dlstally, 

 their third joint a little shorter than the second, the four following 

 (4-7) longer than broad, the next-last as long as broad or feebly trans- 

 verse, distal joint oval, tapering. Pronotum as broad or nearly as broad
