 very finely and densely punctated. The first three free dorsal joints of 

 abdomen with fine and rather dense, the tv.o following with scattered and 

 more feeble punctation. Middle tibiae as a rule with a rather robust out- 

 standing bristle at middle, hind tibiae viith a finer bristle. L. P.5-4 mm. 



In the ^ the next-lajt ventral joint of abdomen somewhat elongate, but 

 not as strongly as in el on^atula , slightly narrowing and at tip broadly 

 rounded off; it does not extend distinctly from under the abdominal tip. 

 In the 9 the sixth free dorsal joint at tip not incurved. 



A.Tong deviating forms two must especially be noted: 



V&r. a.. Smaller than the type form, especially considerably narrower 

 and more evenly broad; antennae and legs most often lighter, the former 

 brownish-yellow, the latter yellow; pronotum narrower end more distinctly 

 narrowing posteriorly; the first three free dorsal joints of abdomen some- 

 what more densely punctated. 



Var. b . Larger than the type, and with lighter elytra, abdominal tip, 

 antennae and legs. 



The different forms are connected by intermediates and do not always 

 permit for exact division. The type form is distributed all over in this 

 country, and commonly on damp or swampy forest or meadov, ground, frequent 

 in alluvium at brooks, lakes etc. Variety &_ is seemingly more common than 

 variety Jj; both occur sometimes separate, Eometlmes mingled with the type 

 form.
