the sixth is at tip angularly incised (Fig. 140). 



Fig. 140. The la6t ventral joints in Stilicus similis Er.d 1 . 

 (according to Muls). - (Paje 465)- 



Distributed in North and Kiddle Europe, but in this country very 



rare and local, heretofore mainly found in North Sjaelland, on damp 



ground under moss and in alluvium (Lyngby Mose, Utterslev Mose, Donse, 



Tisvilde) singly, al60 at Haderslev. 



4. St. ^eniculatus Er. 



(Erichs. Kaf. Mk. Br. I, 522; vJen. Spec. Staph. 632; Kraatz Ins. D. 

 II, 699; Muls. et Rey Bre'vip. 1878, 229; Ganglb. Kaf. M. II, 534). 



From similis , with which it, on account of their great similarity 

 easily can be confused, it is separated by this: that the legs are of 

 lighter yellow, but the tips of middle- and hind-femora are brownish 

 shady, and that the abdominal fifth ventral joint in the <y has a broader 

 impression, of which the carina-shaped sided posteriorly run out in a 

 longer point; the sixth ventral joint is at tip broader and less acute- 

 ly incised. L. 5.5 mm. 



Distributed in Middle Europe. Though it supposedly is found in the 

 vicinity of S^nderborg (^ustnei Verzeich. d. Kaf. Sond.), its occurence 

 here may yet be considered as doubtful. 



4. St. orbiculatus Payk. 



(Payk. Mon. Staph. 35; Ganglb. Kaf. M. II, 534. - afflnis Erichs. 

 Kaf. Mk. Br. I, 522; Gen. Spec. Staph. 633; Kraatz Ins. D. II, 700; 

 Thorns. Skand. Col. II, 203; Muls. et Rey Bre'vip. 1878, 232). 



Larger than the following species, and easily identified by the 



most often grooveless middle-line of pronotum, and the color of the legs.
