The head strongly glistenin;, narrower than pronotum, rounded, with 

 small, slightly protruding eyes, scattered and very fine punctation, at 

 middle indistinctly punctate; antennae rather long, feebly thickened dis- 

 tally, their third joint fully as long as the second, the fourth longer 

 than broad, the middle ones feebly, the next-last more distinctly trans- 

 verse, distal Joint as long as the tvko preceding joints together, obtuee- 

 ly tapering. Pronotum very little narrower than elytra, anteriorly round- 

 ded and posteriorly with rounded off hind corners, slightly convex, scat- 

 tered and very fine or indistinct punctation, the surface very feebly she- 

 greened, at middle posteriorly sometimes with a suggested (o) or with two 

 more distinct C^] longitudinal impressions, and before scutellum with a 

 feeble transverse fovea. The elytra are shorter than in any other related 

 species, scarcely longer than pronotum, very finely and not densely punc'« 

 tated, the surface feebly shagreened, sometimes with an oblique impressi- 

 on at middle posteriorly; abdomen evenly broad or somewhat broadened pos- 

 teriorly, with very fine and scattered, posteriorly sparse punctation. 

 L. 3.5-4 mm. 



As in vicina the first free dorsal joint of abdomen in the ff with e 

 small granule at middle, and the sixth with more or less distinct granu- 

 late punctation, at tip broadly obtuse angularly truncated. The next-last 

 ventral Joint at tip slightly emarglnate. 



An alpine and northern species, very rare in the mountainous regions 

 of Middle Europe and Sweden (Skaane, Stokholm} also Finland; in Denmark 

 heretofore found only singly at Silkeborg (10. 1904 Esb. Petersen) and
