 pression at middle; elytra I'/i times as long as pronotum and punctated 

 like this; abdomen all over with extremely fine and very dense puncta- 

 tion, dull, the fifth free dorsal joint much lonjjer than the fourth. 

 The first four joints of hina tarsi are all eo^ually short. L. 2-2.5 mm. 



In the 3' the impressions on head and pronotum are more distinct than 

 in the o and the next-last ventral joint of abdomen slightly prolonged 

 and rounded off at tip. 



Distributed in Middle Europe and England, also found in Skaane, on 

 sandy river and lake shores; in this country found only on the sandy 

 strand at Jedser under seaweed (Fabr. Ten^nagel) and numerously at Eerom 

 lake In alluvium (&/1910 ana 8/ 1911 author). 



Very closely allied to H. loR,'Tula , and about of same form and size 



is H. fra<ilis Kr. from Middle Europe ana Scotlan. The head is (t.Janijlb.) 



a little shorter than in lon^ula^, the antennae longer, elytra likewise 



— (Paje 226) — 



longer, li times as long as pronotum, and abdomen especially posteriorly 



less densely punctated, more glistening. - It lives at brooks and lake 



shores, and may possibly also be found here, most likely in the southern 



part of Denmark.
