The head is broader than pronotum, as broad as elytra, with rather 

 robust and very dense punctation, forehead a little impressed, with two 

 distinct, but not deep longitudinal grooves, separated by a convex inter- 

 val; antennal third, fourth and fifth joint decreasing in lenght; pro- 

 notum at middle narrower than elytra, about as broad as long, fore and 

 hind equally narrowing, with very robust and very dense punctation, in 

 middle-line often with a feebly suggested groove, otherwise without im- 

 pressions; elytra only as long as pronotum, with equally robust, but 

 hardly as dense punctation as same, smooth; abdomen rather finely and 

 not densely punctated, at middle almost smooth, its first four free dor- 

 sal Joints at base with a very small carina in the middle-line; legs 

 slender, hind tarsi a little shorter than tibiae. L. 4-4,5 mm. 



In the O the abdominal fifth ventral joint posteriorly impressed, 

 sides of the impression are sharp, but are not reaching the posterior 

 margin, which is broadly rounded emarginate; the sixth joint at tip 

 with a small, . triangular incision. 



Two specimens, O and O % which I have found in Skjrfrping Forest, 

 south of Aalborg, under damp fagot, I regard as being of this species, 

 which otherwise is only known from a few places in northern France.
