 is distributed in Middle and North Europe. It is ascribed by Erichson 

 and Kraatz et. al . to the group Stenini . but it differs from this by 

 4-jointed tarsi and much smaller eyes, also by almost contiguous hind 

 coxae. - Its larva form is yet unknown.

In connection with the above stated group-characters, in regard to 

 this genus the following must furthermore be added: 



The body (Fig. 143) is short, slightly convex, rather uniformly 

 broad; the head as broad as pronotum, constricted posteriorly, with 



very short, broad neck, head and pronotum all over with dense puncta-

tion; the eyes, which are rather small and protruding, also coarsely 



faceted, are placed far back, immediate at the head's posterior margin; 

 antennae short, somewhat clavate, as their last two joints are strongly 

 thickened, and much broader than the preceding; labrum is very broad 

 and its anterior margin in its entire breadth finely toothed; mandibles 

 with a robust tooth on inner margin; maxillary palpi are rather slender, 

 their third joint clavate, the fourth scarcely visible. 



Pronotum is heart-shaped, anterior^almost as broad as elytra, and 

 on the dorsum posteriorly with two longitudinal impressions, also a row 

 of large punctures along the posterior margin. Elytra are together broad- 

 er than long, with or without suture, together posteriorly broadly pro- 

 duced; abdomen slightly convex, marginated, its first three free dorsal
