Distributed in Middle Europe, also found in Skaane and Norway; in 

 Denmark very rare (Klitmpller in Thy, Agger; Bellevue's garden near 

 Copenhagen at a hothouse bench in great numbers (Dr. Meinert 17. 6. 65); 

 at Rosmandebaek in Bornholm). 



In longipennis Key the hair vestiture of the body seems denser and 

 more conspicuous, and the elytra somewhat longer than in atratulus Er. , 

 rather parallel; but otherwise seems not to deviate from this species.

Closely allied to both the preceding species, but with shorter, al- 

 most entirely smooth elytra. 



Black, glistening; thorax extremely finely, abdomen distinctly, 

 whitish haired; first joint of maxillary palpi brownish-red. 



The head is broader than pronotum, as broad as elytra, rather ro- 

 bustly and densely punctated; forehead between eyes not impressed and 

 with two flattish grooves, which are separated by a slightly convex 

 interval; antennae short; pronotum oblong, narrower than elytra, broad- 

 est before the middle and with rounded sides, narrowing posteriorly, 

 with robust and very dense punctation, without noticeable or distinct 

 groove in the middle-line, but flatly depressed at middle posteriorly. 

 Elytra are very little or hardly longer than pronotum, smooth, with- 

 out distinct impressions, robust ana densely punctated; abdomen ante- 

 riorly with rather fine and dense, posteriorly finer punctation, its
