 inter alia by glistening elytra and abdomen. 



Black, fine and short, depressed, grayish-yellow haired; head and 

 pronotum dull, elytra and abdomen somewhat glistening; elytral posterior 

 margin and posterior half of the suture coherently and rather broadly 

 reddish-yellow; antennae, mouth-parts and legs, occasionally also post- 

 erior margins of abdominal joints yellow. 



The head (Fig. 142) is almost as broad as elytra, distinctly broad- 

 er than pronotum, and like same with very dense umbilical punctation; 



antennae thin; (Page 474) pronotum 



rather oviform, anteriorly almost as broad as long, posteriorly rather 

 strongly narrowed, on each side with four or five outstanding bristles; 

 elytra considerably longer and broader than pronotum, and longer than 

 their breadth together, with robust and dense punctation; abdomen not 

 elongated, posteriorly feebly broadened, its first four free joints ap- 

 proxamately three times as broad as long, with rather robust and dense, 

 the following with less dense punctation. L. 3-3.5 mm. 



Distributed in Europe; with us it is common as well on woodland 



ground as in the open field; in Sweden, the southern part of Norway and 



Finland it is rare.

Very closely allied to and like angustatus , from which it mainly is 



separated by, that the reddish-yellow color of the elytral posterior 



margin and at the suture is more extensive and most often occupies half
