at Tisvilde (15. 5. 1910 Sngelhart). Like the closely allied species it 



lives on damp, dark ground under moss, leaves, offal from reeds and the 



like. 



A very closely allied species, H. sexnotata Thorns. ( trigemina Spp. ) 



with lighter antennal base and (apparently) very similar sex-characters 



in the ^ , is found in Finland and northern Norway, also found in Skaune 



(Thorns. ) .

 M. II, 171, - ablon,::iuscula Sharp Rev. Brit. Horn. 130). 



Closely allied to vicina, but with more unicolorous, brown elytra, 

 more coarsely punctated head and other sex-characters; somewhat variable. 



Deeply black, rather glistening, finely haired; elytra brown or yel- 

 lowish-brown; antennae and mouth-parts entirely black or sometimes pitchy 

 brown; legs reddish or brownish yellow, often with a little darker femora. 



Head, pronotum and elytra particularly finely shagreened in surface; 



the head narrower than pronotum, roundly-oval, with scarcely protruding 



eyes, in the d^ flatly depressed and rather coarsely, but not deeply, nor 



densely punctated, in the ^ convex and with finer punctation; antennae 



rather robust, however not strongly thickened toward tip, their third joint 



as long as the second, in the o a little more robust than in the $ , the 



fourth longer than broad, the middle and next-last ones about of same

 length, and these feebly transverse, distal joint twice as lonj as the 



tenth, tapering. Pronotum is narrower than elytra, ''/^ broader than lon^.
