 the antennae rather long and slender, bristle-haired, scarcely thickened 

 distally, their third joint a little longer than the second, the middle 

 ones longer than broad, -(Page 214)- the next-last in the O at least as 

 long as broad, in the o longer, the distal joint tapering; temples and 

 ^enae marginate. Pronotum is considerably narrower than elytra, fully 

 IZ/i times as broad as long, feebly or not narrowing posteriorly, but 

 slightly rounded anteriorly, posteriorly more straight sides with singly 

 outstanding bristles, slightly convex, very finely and not densely punc- 

 tated, with a transverse fovea, and most often with a short, sometimes 

 {o) longer and more distinct impression posteriorly before scutellumj 

 the elytra '^''j longer than pronotum, jn the o with dense and rather fine 

 scabrous punctation, in the o^ much coarser, nubby or granulate scabrous 

 punctation and thereby dull. Abdomen strongly glistening, its first three 

 free dorsal joints with fine and rather scattered, the fourth and fifth 

 very sparse punctation, the sixth feebly ( jf } or more strongly (o) gran- 

 ulate punctate; the fifth is a little longer than the fourth. L. 4-4. Emm. 



In the ^ the sixth free dorsal Joint of abdomen with rather dense and 

 robust granulate punctation and dully glisteninj, the tip truncated, broad- 

 ly emarginate and very finely serrate; the next-last ventral joint consi- 

 derably prolonged, tapering, the tip Itself most often obtuse angularly 

 emarginate (Fig. 80). 



In a variety, brunneipennis Thorns., the elytra are brown, antennal base, 

 and legs yellow-rod or reddish yellow. 



Distributed in North and Middle Europe; in this country rather frequent
